The value of great looking hardware and a great looking OS is strong. The value of being able to open the lid on a brand new machine and just run a terminal is significant. It’s compelling. It sounds so silly but it’s the same silly that makes us buy the same beer and the same coffee and shop in the same stores all the time. I migrated off macOS for good during the pandemic though. I yearned for rc.local and xinitrc too much. I live a somewhat (ahem) humbler life now with i3, Firefox, python, vim, and Notable: they were all I really needed, but I miss the shiny.
