Certain things like Gatekeeper are a non-starter for some people. I certainly won't buy a macOS-based machine in the future because of it. Back in November 2020 there was an outage in Apple's cloud that handles Gatekeeper verification. Users were not able to launch any non-Apple-Inc. signed binary for an hour or two. I imagine because OP says they main Linux issues like that are completely unacceptable. Imagine not being able to open Chrome on Windows because Microsoft's servers can't respond to verify the integrity of the binary. Absolutely insane.
