For me macOS seems rock solid as long as you don't install certain drivers (Dell being the worst) and some security software in which case it quickly turns into Windows XP level of "blue" screens. They really need to work on making that stable that but I'm not sure how that would work. Normally you would just sandbox it. For example I used certain software because I was working in the government that was basically government mandated spyware it installed global certificates, checks and uploads network traffic and more. Mandated and buggy as hell. My personal computer on the other hand uses pretty much only App Store and Homebrew cli utils and is rock solid.

“They really need to work on making that stable that but I'm not sure how that would work“ Apple has outlined how it would work: by moving drivers into userspace (https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/ https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/ , https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit) I guess that, with a move to ARM, they would enforce this for all drivers, if performance allows it (video drivers might be the exception)
