Until they clean up Windows wholesale, top to bottom, there's no way it will ever be the same experience.
There's just so many layers of abject garbage in Windows. These are there for legacy reasons, but they're also a giant hassle if you're trying to work as a developer.
Some Linux distributions are rough around the edges, but few of them are as tired and worn out as Windows is.
macOS at least burns off the underbrush once in a while. There's few 32-bit apps in the wild now, most everyone's gone 64-bit. PowerPC is history. The driver landscape, while significantly more limited than Windows, isn't filled with broken garbage and junk that works on Windows 7 but not 10 or vice-versa.
Microsoft's strength is legacy support: Applications from fifteen, even twenty years ago still run. This is also their biggest problem.
