Most blind and visually impaired people use Windows. The options there are also terrible in lots of ways (resource hogging, apps crashing, general bugginess and lagginess), but the end user applications the (generally third-party) accessibility aoftware supports form a more complete catalog.

For my visual impairments, macOS is currently fine, because I only really need magnification and I can get away without using much of it since everything I really deal with is free flowing text, like in a terminal or IDE. But as I need to rely more on screen readers, I anticipate I may have to consider switching. Switching to something other than Linux would break my heart, though.
