Surely that applies to the PC also?

Ok, but there's bound to be software for the PC that can do the same, just as easy. We're not limited to Windows Movie Maker you know!

But that's all down to how the software has been programmed. It doesn't have anything to do with the computer its running on. If Final Cut Pro was programmed for the PC with the exact same features, menus and options, how could it be any less easy to use?
