Is there an easy way to do this? I’ve seen one elsewhere online that has about 14 screenshots and use his garage band. But surely the Mac was made to be better than this, it’s not really a complicated service to ask a computer to do.
Been using a Mac since 1988, and I can’t believe that this can’t be done easily. I hope a solution appears!

Unfortunately, there are only 3 options for transferring ringtones to iPhones.
If you want to do it all on your iPhone, without the use of a computer, then Garage Band is the only solution. Otherwise you have to use the other options, unfortunately that hasn't changed yet.
There are already really excellent guides out there on the web that explain how to transfer ringtones via Garage Band, so you get a link to a video that I thought explains it well:
If you want to use your Mac to transfer ringtones, you can do it in the Finder. But first, your Voice Memo must be converted to a ringtone format. Your Voice Memo is in M4A format and a ringtone must be M4R. Convert here:
When the M4A file is converted to M4A, it just needs to be transferred to your iPhone, so connect your iPhone to your Mac and open Finder. Find your iPhone in the overview, tap in and now you just have to "Drag and Drop" the file into the Finder window.
Finally press sync and now you should be able to find your new ringtone at the top here:
Settings > Sound & Haptics > Ringtone
Voice memo as iPhone alarm or alert
