I wouldn't say a bigger problem (since it's it less used than Windows), but a

Also the users are snooty because it's the main marketing claim. Many buy it
just for that. Some do so more for professional reasons though (graphic
design, since you have a nice set of fonts by default. Plus everything is
carefully designed, the proportions, everything. It's a better design
environment).
But for most people, it's like having the latest cool shoes in high school. A
status mark. We always want what the neighbor has, it's human nature I
suppose.
It's not so surprising how many unix porn (I mean desktop design) is made to
mimic a mac desktop.
Nowadays I see it like a golden cage. Low status as f*ck.
