Don't bother mentioning the argument about computability, we all know of ways around it via environments and emulators. Most drivers come for all platforms so that's not a valid argument either.

I can make or take any hardware I wish and install it on Windows providing I have the drivers for it. Can you do the same with a Mac? Last time I checked, you couldn't without using some sort of workaround hack.

Mac doesn't run on a normal pc so i don't see how normal users would just migrate to mac like that.

"Migrate to MacOS" is misleading for a voyage to iRape
Use "dump lots of money into what I'm told is a superior designed hardware running on a shiny inflexible OS" instead
