Windows is incredibly broken and yet miraculously its power is that it works.
My exotic mix of apps work. Games work, new ones and 20 year old ones. All peripherals and hardware combinations work, or have a way to make them work. There always seems to be a path towards success.
Years or decades of muscle memory fueling resistance to change, corporate lock-in, game compatibility...that's how Microsoft can get away with almost anything.
Should Apple want to, they could get the ultimate revenge by reversing the lost PC wars. And actually dominate the laptop/desktop market. They have the hardware, software and resources to do so.
But it won't happen, it would require too many non-Apple moves, like wide compatibility, very long term legacy support, low margin products.

Using both macOS and Windows 11 on an almost daily basis, they are really not that different when it comes to nagging users. Both show full-screen displays on startup from time to time where they want to change some settings (activating Siri, using Edge as default browser, ...), try to sell additional services, make you use an online account, and come with a lot of bloatware.
