The first time I've actually used macOS was on a hackintosh'd Acer laptop, only out of curiosity. I didn't keep it as my main OS but I was surprised to discover the gestures and that they worked perfectly just as I know them today on my Mac. So a lot of the "magic" is in software. Windows Precision might be good at passing the sensor information on to the OS and apps but the implementation simply seems to not be as good. On top of that, at least subjectively, the giant touchpad made out of a glass slab with the haptic feedback just completes the mix, makes it feel right. My first Mac was a 2015 late MacBook Pro, which is when they introduced the haptic stuff and I tried a friend's Air afterwards and I disliked the feel of the touchpad click in comparison. One of the most surprising little discoveries of moving over to a Mac for me was that despite having bought a Magic Mouse, I never really used it, my brain instinctually just kept gravitating towards the built-in touchpad, which is something I've never had with Windows laptops, in fact I had a seething dislike of the built in pointing devices on such machines all my life because I was way more effective with a mouse. I've only felt the Mac touchpad slowing down my workflow was Photoshop (but still surprisingly OK), games (this is self-explanatory) and moving around multiple files, selecting and deselecting them. I'm fairly convinced that one of the primary comfort points that made me keep the Mac for the long term was the smooth gesture integration.
