>Are you auguring about licensing here? macOS's obviously not open-source so you cannot just download it off their website for free but you can absolutely boot in on your PC, there's an entire Hackintosh community around it.
Yes. But that's not from Apple directly and not really the point here. macOS on PCs is for the hardcore, the 1%, the people who like to tinker with their system. Not as an alternative to Windows. There is no guarantee that the next update will survive a reboot.
>If you're telling me that in a world where 99% of PCs are Linux preinstalled, kids are familiar with Linux from school and nonetheless people are going out of their way to manually install Windows on them, I think you're selling me a bridge.
Ideally there would have been no OS preinstalled and you had to chose yourself. But again, hypothetical example. Would Winodws still be dominant in this example? My guess is yes, based purely on how GUI friendly the OS is.
