I don't know why you're being downvoted; this is true for a number of reasons.

1. Used to mac only software or workflow 2. ercieved supramacy in security 3. Ios compatibility 4. etc

The price/ hardware spec ratio by and large always goes to Windows boxes, but for many people the change in OS disrupts too many other areas in life to justify the discount

Might want to put UNIX as one of those top level points.

I don't know either. macOS is pretty much the single reason why our team and I are staying on the Apple ship while crying over other laptops that cost half as much and yet provide superior performance.

On the contrary I wish I could buy Mac hardware running Linux. (Or that would work well once I put Linux on it.)

They also buy them for iMessage continuity between devices. Can’t have those green bubbles.
