I don't know if I'm the exception, but I also think Apple's software absolutely sucks.
UX is complete and utter trash.
But the M1 and onwards hardware is so good, I put up with it.
Just off the top of my head:
- Never had a $2000+ laptop that couldn't connect with more than 2 monitors without an expensive DisplayLink dock and drivers. And even then, it's janky AF
- Rendering on non-Apple external monitors sucks; night and day difference when I connect a Windows laptop to my Dell monitors
- Terrible with system font scaling
- Inconsistent usage of button sizes in their native dialogs
- Can't tab cycle through minimized windows
- Windowing system sucks compared to Windows
- Whatever is happening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnGT041xkGE
- I ship a PWA for one of my apps and by far Safari is the one that has the most issues with updating
