I'm using Apple products for my computing needs, and I din't particularly like Windows, but Apple tends to be even more opinionated and restrictive – and I really like that a lot. It's a big feature of the ecosystem that I get a lot of pretty good defaults that work quite well, even if they aren't what I'd build from scratch if I had to. That way I don't have to expend energy crafting everything myself and can spend that energy on whatever it is I wat to do with my computer. I don't care about the exact type of steel used for my hammer, just give me a reasonably good one and let me build that thing.
In that way, MacOS currently is the best of both worlds for me – hassle-free if somewhat constrained, but I still have a UNIX underneath, iTerm, all sorts of utilities, and so on.
