Many open-source programs have great usability. It’s just that a lot of people define “usability” as “works as closely to Microsoft equivalent as possible”, which is not really fair.

Basically all Microsoft software is bad. It’s obtuse, slow, unintuitive garbage. But people get very used to it, and are fantastic at navigating around and getting their job done. I should hope so, they’ve had decades.
