Yeah, despite all the hype, MacOS is one of the least technically sophisticated operating systems in common use. Their main advantage over other systems is power management, and a large part of that is attributable at least as much to control over the hardware as to technical excellence.
The fanboyism and reality distortion field is very strong. I remember when they came out with timer coalescing and were hyping it as a major accomplishment and selling point. Of course, Windows supported timer coalescing for years before MacOS, but that didn’t stop Jobs from convincing a bunch of developers that this was a novel breakthrough.
