It seems that Mac Scrivener users can choose to put Options on the toolbar but Windows users cannot. Is this true? Intentional?

As a Mac-user, I don’t know what you mean. There are “Corkboard Options”, “Outliner Options” and “Clear All Navigation Options” on the menus, but there aren’t any toolbar icons/labels for those in the Customise Toolbar dialog.
I believe “File → Options” on Windows is “Scrivener → Preferences” on the Mac, and there is no icon/label to put that on the Toolbar, either.

Thanks xiamenese for the quick response. On this video: Customise the Toolbar in Scrivener - YouTube
I took this screenshot:
It looks like there is an icon that can be moved to the toolbar. Maybe it is an old video.

Yes, this is true.
There is no button for View > Customize Toolbars in Windows Scrivener.
Best,

That screenshot must have been Mac v.1! Here’s v.3 … no “Customise Toolbar” option.
I presume you could make a shortcut to open it, but I don’t see much point, as, to me it’s something I rarely do, and on those occasions it’s “Do it once and leave it at that”. I prefer shortcuts or the menus over using the toolbar anyway.

The shortcut will be fine for me (Ctrl + ,). I am new and still exploring all the goodies in Scrivener and like to tinker around under the hood. Just perplexed about the apparent difference but it is not a major deal breaker since I can use the keystrokes!
Thanks again for engaging.

For windows can customize by view>customize toolbar. Windows can customize toolbar and format bar as well. Can shift icons around and add spaces . can in File>options>Appearance under general option can change font and size of toolbars.

Thanks Goaliedad, I have personalized it and wanted a button that doesn’t exist. Ahhh well. Keyboard shortcuts work just as well.
