That's definetively not the consensus. Both macOS and Windows were designed at a time when screen resolutions were under 100dpi. My take is that Apple favored font rendering to mimic printed text as much as possible and Microsoft went with legibility at all costs with ClearType. But to me, Windows font rendering is awful, of just terrible taste. High resolution screens makes it all much less of an issue, but both Linux and Windows still struggle in that regard as well.
