There's another category to consider: Those who use mostly open source apps and those who prefer a better user experience. Switching is easy if you're the former. Not so much if you're the latter. The Mac app ecosystem is hands down the best there is. Mac apps are not just easy to use, but pleasant. Windows apps are ugly and often difficult to use. Heaven help you on Linux.

I miss the MacOS software ecosystem in general. Beautiful, easy to use native apps that you're happy to pay for because they just work. I fear that culture will be lost with no place to go when MacOS goes away.

If it should be necessary to fight the Russians, the sooner we do it the better.
