Recent macOS versions change the text string from "Preferences" to "Settings" automatically. Changing the name of the "Preferences" pane across platforms and documentation does not meet our current threshold for the most impactful issues facing users.

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new Unity project
2. Go to “Unity” option in the Top Bar
3. Observe the menu

Expected results: There is an option “Preferences” in the “Unity” menu
Actual results: There is an option “Settings” in the “Unity” menu even though when you open the window it is called “Preferences”

Reproducible with: 2021.3.38f1, 2022.3.30f1, 6000.0.3f1

Reproducible on: macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (M1)
Not reproducible on: Windows 11 Pro
