The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

    Apple products are generally fine, its their ethos that sucks. Closed, expensive, proprietary.

    Its far too limiting IMO. Open MacOS and it would be quite a compelling option

        The hardware is rarely ever comparable. You show me a like for like hardware comparison, and Mac will always be more expensive with fewer upgrade paths.

          Alternatively, you can look at a price for price comparison and get some absolutely hilarious discrepancies. For instance, at the price of a full specs Mac pro, you can build a top end pc running dual 4090s. With some cash to spare.

          Well yeah, it’s probably more expensive, but hardware is not all you’re paying for though

            Which also goes to my oldness argument. Their software is locked, proprietary, and too ingrained Intl the System.

      What specifically do you mean when you say “Open MacOS”? Open to what? You can already install anything you want on it. It’s unix based, so your terminal works mostly the same as in Linux. You’ve even got a package manager (homebrew), so you won’t miss apt or whatever else you use. iOS is another discussion, but imho, OSX is “open” enough.

        Alterable Desktop Environments, alternative stores, removing integrated packages such as the app store, installable on non Apple hardware, whether arm or x86.

        Open air drop as a standard would help too

        IMO even windows is too closed for my taste.
