The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Theyre expensive as any other flagships tho

The hardware is rarely ever comparable. You show me a like for like hardware comparison, and Mac will always be more expensive with fewer upgrade paths.

Well yeah, it’s probably more expensive, but hardware is not all you’re paying for though

Which also goes to my oldness argument. Their software is locked, proprietary, and too ingrained Intl the System.

Alternatively, you can look at a price for price comparison and get some absolutely hilarious discrepancies. For instance, at the price of a full specs Mac pro, you can build a top end pc running dual 4090s. With some cash to spare.
