He gets away with it because he makes a high quality OS that people want to use. I don't see it as much worse than e.g. using Linux when Torvalds is kind of an asshole.

"kind of an asshole" is a huge understatement. He's said some truly unforgivable things

What unforgivable things has he said?

Here’s a collection of some fun rants he’s had, I personally don’t think they’re unforgivable but people’s tolerance for crash outs varies.

There are many other rants not collected here

There are other reasons to not use Linux, but Linux (+glibc +systemd +libinput...) is basically "the Unix" nowadays...
