Cinnamon definitely mimics classic Windows... That's essentially its entire point.
GNOME is the mishmash of macos and, like you said, mobile design.
Hmm I swear I saw the exact same MacOS minimize/maximize/close buttons and on the left in Cinnamon at one point, but now that I'm looking up the latest screenshots it seems to be the usual. Maybe it was some specific distro only?
