Exactly. Opinionated products are great for those who share the opinion, and for everybody else there’s other products. It’s personal preference, and nobody is “wrong” for preferring one platform above the others.
Could I get along on a Windows or Linux box if I had to? Sure. I even have multiple of both as single-purpose machines. I’m not going to enjoy it, though, and I’m going to end up spending way too much time and energy tweaking either to fit my preferences (being Mac-like). There is no Linux desktop or Windows release that I could put to use as a daily driver without getting pulled down the customization rabbit hole.
