I think this enchanted land ("many developers couldn't find fault with OS X and Mac hardware.") isn't grounded in reality. I only started using Macs around 1999 (though I had an Apple IIc prior.
Apple hardware has always had bugs, flaws, and failures. I had a Mac Pro G5 that leaked (it was liquid cooled). I had the first Intel Mac Pro, and the GPU died several times (and was like $700?). Luckily it was covered under warranty.
Laptop batteries bulged, screens delaminated, cases displayed wear because wrists get sweaty. iTunes on Windows sucked. And obviously keyboards butterflied.
Software has been up and down, sometimes secure, sometimes not. Sometimes fast, sometimes buggy.
But the reason the Mac came back was because despite these perennial flaws and issues, it was WORLDs better than the alternative.
