Well, I kind of understand your point though it's from a reverse angle. My previous two jobs gave me maxed out macbooks as work machines, but I really hated them.
They were kind of half-close to the Linux servers I work with, but I needed to use homebrew to make them useable. Why can't Apple get a decent cli environment going?
The GUI stuff just pissed me off. I want to arrange some windows the way I want. I don't actually like tiling window managers, but after using macos I thought it was possibly the only way to make it properly useful.
Keyboards: well, everyone knows about how they fucked that up. The new ones are much better. I like the Mx hardware and when Asahi is fully up to speed, my next personal laptop might well be one of those.
Yeah there was a "crap zone" of Apple stuff around the butterfly keyboard disaster. The new M1 kit is completely 100% different grade of hardware.
I have no issues with macOS UI as such. It takes about 6-9 months to get used to it though coming from anything else. When you get there it actually makes sense. I've seen a lot of Windows converts expect everything to be windows-like but it's more NextSTEP than windows.
