Yeah, I guess. System-wide spell check? Built-in dictionary? Oh hang on, Apple have sabotaged that for VoiceOver users now too, haven't they?
I do think the app scene is somewhat better on Mac though. RSS readers and podcatchers, file transfer, sync and backup utilities, etc. together with a much nicer general model of accessibility and system-wide conveniences like scripting and automation. But sure. Ultimately, Windows is pragmatic and practical, it works, and you don't need macOS the same way you need Windows. I think they're complementary, but you can survive less well without Windows than with macOS, I think it's fair to say, even if you stretch Windows to an occasional boot of your VM every once in a blue moon. Also, iOS provides many of the apps that are typically found on the Mac, though not all of course, and not with the same features. You can edit audio on an iPhone, but the experience is better on a Mac or PC. I'll hang on to my 2020 iMac for as long as it lives and certainly for as long as it has AppleCare, just so I can have the option of using Windows. And yes, that includes Windows 11, either in a VM or bootcamped with the stupid restrictions patched out. But my heart goes out to those who are torn between two operating systems, so to speak, as a result of Apple Silicon. I can appreciate this pain because I am definitely buying an Apple Silicon MacBook Pro in the near future, precisely so I can have it all, albeit with the compromises of using the Mac as a host platform. We pray for competition and general-purpose ARM or Risc V hardware in future. Also for an operating system that's truly both accessible and respectful of your privacy, of course, because that doesn't exist yet.
