In qgis I can apply full symbology and even labeling settings to other layers with just a few clicks. It's very comfortable, no extra tool needed. Now in arcgis pro it seems even more complicated than in arcmap and it requires a geoprocessing tool or forces me to create styles... For labels I dont even know how to apply them on other layers.
Am I just unaware of some easy tricks or is qgis really just so much more convenient for copying layer appearance?

Thanks @c1undy for the question. I appreciate and agree that some of these symbology features should be easier to use!
To vote up this idea, and see a more general discussion of symbology in Pro vs ArcMap, see this thread in the Pro Ideas forum: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/arcgis-pro-copy-symbology-from-layer/idi-p/929878

Specifically when it comes to Knowledge Graphs we are working on a way to more easily save and reuse symbology and labels for Entity/Relationship Types across Maps and Link Charts by allowing users to set a default styles for a knowledge graph that will travel with the service to each new visualization on a desktop or web client.
Today there are some workflows where you can set up styles in a "Template" link chart, if you will, and then when every you select Entities and Relationships, you can create a new link chart using the style of that Template.
