People don't seem to like this answer but it's really the only legit one for most home users.

Companies don't switch because enterprises like support contracts...

Did you forget that MacOS exists and is a member of the larger UNIX family? If you don’t game on your computer, it is a far nicer option for home users than Windows in many respects.

“Legit options” are entirely based on your skill level and intended use.

No...no it's not. Macs are super overpriced for what you get. You can get a cheap windows pc for a quarter or less of a damn MacBook and if your not using it for gaming then that's what people will get. There is a reason osx has a market share barely above Linux OS.

It is a legit option to understand that the majority of steam users use Windows.

They're also a piece of shit company and their OS sucks so much. I'd rather use Linux over OSX any day. The fact that I've been working on an apple project for the last year now has made me despise them even more than I did before.

I'm forced to use osx at work, and have been for almost half a decade now... it's soooo bad. Plus yea apple is a terrible company, I never understood why most of the people who are all about eating the rich usually are using an apple product lol
