I definitely understand. I just think there are fewer and fewer reasons to choose Mac over Windows now, especially when the native accessibility has been diminishing on MacOS. Most third party apps from the Mac App Store aren’t generally very accessible I’ve found. So what’s really the selling point now?
I first started using the Mac because I was sold on the iPhone: I was actually able to use a normal smartphone, and it was really the only option out there. So I wanted to take full advantage of the Apple ecosystem. Now there are more options — more competition, so the choice isn’t so obvious. Other companies have caught up and Apple is no longer the clear and obvious winner for me. Just my 2¢.

Of course nothing says I won't ever go back to Windoze, but I think Marc has it right—use both platforms to get the best. It shouldn't be necessary, and I appreciate that in an age of Apple Silicon it's often an impossible choice to make, but if you can, maintain access to both. Windows is many things but it certainly isn't a dreamland, either. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
