But that’s just as wrong. Apple products are definitely opinionated, but using a product that’s meant to be used a specific way doesn’t have anything to do with worship? If your personal preferences overlap with Apples design choices, good for you; personally, I prefer to not having lots of ways to tinker with irrelevant details, because I’m very susceptible for that kind of busywork that keeps me from focusing on actual work. But if you feel otherwise, there’s a wide range of alternative products to choose from. The insistence of some people that Apple products are the devils work because they don’t fit their personal preferences is bogus to me. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

Exactly. Opinionated products are great for those who share the opinion, and for everybody else there’s other products. It’s personal preference, and nobody is “wrong” for preferring one platform above the others. Could I get along on a Windows or Linux box if I had to? Sure. I even have multiple of both as single-purpose machines. I’m not going to enjoy it, though, and I’m going to end up spending way too much time and energy tweaking either to fit my preferences (being Mac-like). There is no Linux desktop or Windows release that I could put to use as a daily driver without getting pulled down the customization rabbit hole.
