nonsense. it's incredibly easy to create arrows and quite a bit more.
as usual, you failed and are blaming others.

view the annotate menu:

or directly from the toolbar:

it doesn't get any easier than that.

All decent editing apps have a GUI for each of the critical tasks:
0. Cropping area
1. Adding canvas and text
2. Adding bounding boxes
3. Adding curved and straight arrows

preview does all that, with the exception of curved arrows, a very
minor issue.

It's not a minor issue at all if you want curved arrows.


It's *how* they accomplish those tasks that differs, and what basic options
they provide for the results which matter.

preview is as easy as it gets.
