Being a support person, if I was rich enough to frivolously buy systems, I’d have at least one of each as a reference system. Yes, I know, vms, but that’s for saving money/space. Especially MAC I’d have some hardware too. Definitely not a main system though. I currently have a broken Mac and a cheap chromebook for that reason, though due to being broken the Mac is rather useless now. When it worked I often used it to help test/troubleshooting customer stuff.
I can be as rich as god and wouldn’t go for windows or apple. I would rather invest the money in good Foss development
Probably the reason as to why you aren’t rich in the first place
I can objectively state the contrary.
Mac don’t cause riches to customer.
Riches cause Mac customer.
Yes, my idealism is one of the reasons, another is severe ADHD.
That’s fantastic, man! Congratulations, really!

For real I’ve put in a fraction supporting OpenSource then I had if I had to buy unfree software and I’ve gotten way more out of it.
I see it as a difference between owning and renting.
