It's usually one of three reasons: Denial, sunk-costs fallacy, or lack of knowledge on OSes

>"Apple sucks now, but I'd rather use it because I'm used to it and don't wanna bother with something new"

These types are usually non-/tech/ oldfags who just want a workstation and don't want to bother with learning anything new, they know when something's bad, but they don't have the will or self-esteem to do anything about it.

<"All those former Apple users complaining about their OS are a bunch of whiny manchildren, Apple is fine!"

Bitchy hipsters on a contrarian high, or people trying to defend what they like, as natural among people. Fanboys be fanboys, OS wars are the same vein as console wars anyway.

>"I don't wanna use windows, I'll see what these Apple devices are."

The least common type, but still a definite factor. Could be swayed to use GNU/Linux, but they simply don't know about it or if it exists.

<"iTS sOOO mAnY yeARS aGo or it ISNT thAT bAd"

[spoiler]They have it the other way around. MacOS was good before they became assholes and took out classic. Then everything went downhill. Then the downhill speed increased drastically when jobs died, because he could filter out the full-retard decisions people wanted to make. Mac isn't any better than windows nowadays.

T. Ex-macfag who left long before jobs died but is still surrounded by macfags.[/spoiler]

What LARPs on /tech/ will never understand is Apple actually cares about the PC industry more then Microsoft at this point. They know what makes a PC a PC, that’s why their iOS devices are the way they are. You can argue they’re “locked down” but that’s kind of the point. They’re not trying to be replacements for computers for most people and Apple knows this. They could’ve shut down the Mac line years ago and just put OSX on the iPad but they realized it would make for a trash experience so instead they took OSX as a foundation and built an OS around it that actually fits the form factor and real word use cases. Compare with Android which tries to be a PC OS as much as it can but it just fails in all respects. Nobody is installing Android as their main OS and nobody is really running terminal applications on their Androidshits. Yes, I know you can, without even needing root as well, but because you can doesn’t mean it’s not some LARP novelty that wears off after a day.

Mac was never better than Windows; it's always been a pretty restrictive proprietary system LARPing as BSD while having 90% of its code be bloat. It's just that when Microsoft realised their only competition had given up completely on making or maintaining anything with even a half-decent modicum of competency, it quickly became a race to the bottom. Both companies lost their biggest executive and the very first business decision made after both Jobs dying and Gates writing were immediately, irredeemably garbage.

Sunken cost fallacy and the status symbol of being able to buy Apple.

The latter being identical to buying a slow Lamborghini when all you needed was a Dacia Sandero.

True-ish story:

>Aunt: "This new iPhone I just got is so much better than my old phone! Android is terrible!"

>Me: "Well, I prefer Android. What was your old phone?"

So she shows me her old Android. I mean OLD, like 2010 stuff, and a basic model even for that period. I mean, people make this sort of comparison all the time without realizing how unfair it is.

I never said Mac was better than windows, I said "MacOS was good". Back then, they both had their strengths and weaknesses but each were solid OSes despite being proprietary software.

Either way you're still right about the last part, it's been a race to the bottom since things went down the shitter, and they're caring less about actual system quality and more about how they can market their products.

MacOS and iOS run 100% smooth, zero microstutter. There is no clustering like wayland vs xorg, gnome vs kde (vs shitty tiling wms) etc. It's fully posix compliant open source unix, a good replacement for gnu/linux.
