Why are distro communities turning linux more and more into Windows and Mac OS clones?

This is why I use Arch.

I was just getting used to using Manjaro for my dev machines due to rolling release. Gotta find new flavor now.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Reliable and up to date.

Haven't touched suse ecosystem since they were suse. Now I just feel comfortable with Debian or arch.

Well Debian doesn't have a rolling distro, does it?

It was something that underpinned your choice and now it's not. I'm not sure why you said gotta find when you already knew the answer.

Got into rolling release very recently with Manjaro (realized Debian doesn't have rolling release). Just started getting used to arch packaging. I wouldn't consider myself knowledgeable in rolling release options

It kind of does, if you count testing / sid.
