There are some features in the Windows version that have never been available in the Mac version. Having said that, with every new release the Mac version gains features the Windows version has had for years.
This is correct, but in general the missing features are either ones that are not possible or not necessary on Mac or are very old and not often used features. For the most part, anyone who is happy with the Windows version will also be happy with the Mac version (or happier, given the increased stability of macOS and no issues with WAS/MME/ASIO drivers).

Mac users do not receive as many updates because the Mac version includes many fixes from the Windows updates.
Also correct.
