"Professional" is a wide category for sure, but I would argue professionals are the ones who need more customization, not less. They are the ones with esoteric tools and workflows, and where customizing their environment to match how their mind works allows them to focus on the problems at hand and not their tools.

True. However, these are trillion-dollar companies. Look at all the options for cars, or refrigerators, or whatever. And all these have the constraints of the physical world. And all made by companies with a heck of a lot less cash than Apple and Microsoft.
