Yes, because Apple used to have AFP, a filesharing protocol that was magnitudes better and faster than SMB and they had zero interest in having a decent SMB implementation because it was the competition after all. They eventually decided to discontinue AFP and left everyone with the mess their SMB implementation is. To make things worse they never cared to implement NFS shared on their UI.

Meh. AFP copies were just as slow.
