I was born in the late 80s. As I grew up, my parents worked on Windows Machines, and so did the teachers at my school. Macs were just these funny, cute and colorful machines, curiosities more than serious workstations. Even Linux I mostly used to have a system to tinker with. When the first OS X Macbooks and later the iPhone came, I developed the opinion that they're mostly over-expensive status symbols, and I hated Apple for forcing themselves into the education system, especially the arts. I would never stoop so low to support a company with such questionable drive and social impact.
This opinion has not necessarily changed as much as Windows has just descended into full blown subscription-trap-ridden spyware with more ads than your average website.
My next laptop will probably be a mac, and my desktop workstation will stay on win 10/linux as long as possible, a repeat of the XP era. I'm honestly tired of fighting the OS I want to work on at every step. (and yes that also includes fighting all the little problems you have trying to make linux usable: audio, bluetooth, x/wayland)
