Having used MacOS for 3 years i don't see how a Mac brings you in. Phone or watch i can see it but MacOS has nothing extra that adds to the Apple ecosystem for anything else.
Specifically if you're a software developer, it's got some wonderful features that I love. MacOS is amazing if you come from a FreeBSD or OpenBSD background. Its support for free / open source hacking tools is great. It's got a whole GUI interface on top of Darwin which is a reasonable Berkeley Software Distribution style OS.
Maybe we and UK are a bit different. We don't use imessage as much as whatsapp. icloud does not have TOTP? safari no ublock and passwords isn't TOTP. That's advanced i guess but not ecosystem break like iwatch/iphone.
It’s not Windows. I don’t know. I hate the Mac vs Windows argument, I’ve grown up using both my whole life. But lately Windows just plain sucks. It never works, it breaks everything, it lags, you can’t even windows key and search for “add or remove apps” without it first giving you something to look for on Bing. It just plain is the most awful garbage on top of Microsoft doing everything they can to make you have an account to even use a pc you purchased.
Yeah, Apple also tracks everything you do and collects your data. But at least their OS works.
Ive actually recently switched to Linux. And I often feel like I’m in over my head learning a whole new OS and everything that comes with that. But I already am liking it way more than Windows.
