I don't know. I used apple notes for quite a while, several years. And I got increasingly frustrated by it's countless bugs and inconsistent or weird behaviours, especially with check lists which I use a lot. I even have a folder with tens of screencasts capturing these bugs which I want to compile and publish in a blog post one day. I ended up with my own web-based solution on top of Lexical, which I wrapped in a Tauri app, which I very much enjoy using. I don't need it to sync to other devices so all notes and images rest in a filesystem.
But just once, I'd love to hear someone reply to this and say they really love something like OneNote, and list out why they think it's a "higher quality" piece of software than Apple Notes. Personally, while I observe a lot of bugs in Apple's software, really that's true of all the (GUI in particular) software I use. If I go across all the software I use, Apple's offerings are almost universally on the top end by the metrics I'd measure for quality compared to similar offerings (e.g., something like OneNote is directly comparable to Apple Notes, whereas a custom built notes app that doesn't sync across devices most certainly is not). Apple's apps are usually well-designed, performant, bug free (relatively speaking, there are always bugs in software, but if I put, say, OmniFocus and Reminders next to each other [two apps that have the same purpose that I use every day, Reminders overall has less bugs than OmniFocus]), and they're mostly consistent with each other.
Putting all that together, the breadth of Apple's software offerings, and they're consistent high quality relative to similar offerings from other companies, makes Apple seem to me like the best company in the world today at making GUI software! Which doesn't mean they're perfect, and doesn't mean they can't do better, but is still super impressive.
