I used to use Windows a long time ago, it was always slow and crap. I also tinkered with Linux but I don't want to spend my free time (and some of my work time) troubleshooting. I like the idea of Linux, but for most people it isn't there yet. Windows is just bad.
Apple has created a situation where, for better or worse, they are both the software and hardware. Yes, you're locked in and pay for the name, all of that, but also they work. Really well. No troubleshooting, no bloat or slowing down. That's what people pay for.
I have used Linux single 3.5” floppy days. I don’t have to tinker with it at all. I really don’t. Used to sure. Not now. In fact, windows has become the one I have to tinker with most. It forgets my speakers, Bluetooth, etc.
Windows 11 forgetting my Bluetooth controllers constantly is part of the reason I switched to Linux.
