I find the slim Apple keyboards more comfortable too.
I understand the appeal of mechanical keyboards and I’ve owned an Ergodox EZ, Planck EZ, and Atreus, but the Apple Wireless I use is faster, quieter, easier to transport, more comfortable without a wrist rest, identical to the MacBook keyboard layout so easier to switch between, and even customisable via Karabiner (I put a numpad over the right home row with a modifier so I don’t have to stretch to the number row, and it works the same way on the MacBook keyboard too).
Failing to fall in love with mechanical keyboards can feel like a personal flaw because so many people in hacker communities fetishise them (and because I’ve spent hundreds trying them out only to sell them on or leave them in a drawer), so it helps to hear of others with the same experience!
