Yup, there are aspects of Apple's offerings that are form over function (No, I do not need laptop parts in my desktop so you can make it thin just because). However, I'm a Mac user not because of the pro's/con's of just the hardware or just the software, but the overall experience - from using, maintaining, buying, servicing. It's frictionless. It feels better. I prefer it. I have Windows and Linux boxes (gaming and tinkering respectively) but when I just want to do stuff I reflexively grab for my Macs. If they don't have the same value to you - great. That's why it's awesome to have choice. But pretending there is no difference in value for everyone because there isn't any for you is silly (and more than a tad narcissistic).
