I'm not talking about companies that use windows vs companies that use mac but about the systems themselves. It's very possible that most companies that use macs are generally better equipped, treat their devices better, upgrade more often, etc.. But that's a correlation, not a causation. You are right about the quality baseline because apple forces them to buy very specific hardware. But if they'd instead spend the same money for a windows machine and set it up decently, I would prefer that by a lot. MacOS is just terrible. It's less keyboard friendly, always messy, forces users into a overpriced and shitty proprietary lock-in ecosystem, etc.

I'm not sure how long I'll say that though since microsoft really manages to make windows so much worse with every version they release, it has also reached a barely usable state to be honest.
