There’s so much nuance to it though. Sure, each of the “big three” work well enough these days for most tasks, but there’s more to it than just compatibility.

Sure, each of the “big three” work well enough these days for most tasks, but there’s more to it than just compatibility. macOS has pretty unobtrusive systems in place for code signing and only running software from known vendors. Linux has code-signing, in that it exists as a technology, but it’s not ubiquitously supported and you don’t get a centralised service vouching for recognised vendors out of the box (which makes sense as it kind of goes against the libre ethos - but it’s not a great situation for many users). Windows supports gaming and most desktop software, but the security system (last I checked - please tell me if I’m way out of date on this) isn’t granular enough to cater to what you may or may not be comfortable with - so a lot of software will just trigger a UAC prompt for carte-blanche admin rights, which is as dangerous as you imagine.
