I agree that they are moving, but they seem to be innovating without focusing on the user. It's like a bunch of enginerds working on cool projects that they are coming up with. Yeah they might be cool, but will people buy/use them?

Maybe it's still too early to tell, and all of these moonshot concepts will result in useable devices, but so far I feel like the device ecosystem and interoperability of devices just isn't at all at the level of apple or even google for that matter.

Ummm... YES. Lots of folks who have been unsatisfied with the current Mac lineup, and High Sierra, have switched. I did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you need a UNIX-y workflow the Windows Subsystem for Linux makes all the difference.

That subsystem is too slow. It just feels kludgy. I want my things in my home directory, I don't want 2 or more locations to have files. That is why I will always run Linux.
Yet out in the real world Mac sales are continuing to grow while the rest of the industry is in decline.
