I'd argue that they don't really fit most needs. To your issue with ctrl-a, fair concern, but you could just as easily use pinkie + ring finger. It's less movement than mac + a. Again, your hand remains open. Mac closes the hand, which increase nerve and joint issues. Even if I grant the keyboard, at least in Linux you can easily layout a new keyboard. OSX makes that a pain. You end up having to purchase a tool that jimmies with the system internals to get the mapping to work more than 75%. Ultimately I agree with the idea that it's people's own money. They should be free do with it as they please (though ironically many of the most ardent OSX users are near authoritarians like AntiFa that want to tax people to support pet ideas and the general removal of freedom). My point above was to commiserating with the OP that Apple produces overrated products when it comes to utility. If one prefers form over function, Apple is the way to go. If one prefers function/price over form, anyone else is better.
