I personally feel my choosing macOS over any other OS is almost entirely cosmetic at this point. I might as well just use iOS. Because most of my actual work needs to happen elsewhere anyway. How locked down the platform is is something I'd prefer not to think about when just using the system. If users notice that en masse, it's a problem for Apple. OTOH, Developers are forever a niche. If they were to attempt to turn macOS into a compelling, competitive UNIX-like OS that could serve in production, then maybe it would matter (note that I'm not saying it couldn't now -- it just seems to occupy such a tiny segment of this market). But they don't seem to have much intention of going there, seriously. They've gone after the average consumer market agressively for pretty much their entire existence. They stayed that course and it appears to have paid off for them. So if they do wall off macOS in an iOS manner, who will care?
