The amount of excuses of things not working/missing functionality under OSS are getting fewer and fewer. For me, the last couple of years have been huge in closing the gap. Switching from Windows to Mac a year and a half ago brought some disappointment towards MacOS - it has more glitches/weirdness than I had thought, coming from the (apparent) Apple UI masters. Installing Debian 12 with GNOME on my old work laptop was a pleasent experience, but still requires some fiddling to get things (mostly apps) the way I want them. I imagine installing a more user friendly distribution would be an even more polished experience.
My point is, that OSS is better than ever and the excuses are starting to become tiresome.
Im many cases it can be cut down to different user experience.
