Thing is, I'm not a Mac or iOS developer either, but I find that even if alternatives exist, they're rarely as polished as what's available for macOS.

Consider Paste - Ditto exists for Windows, but it's just not as nice in my honest opinion. Or BetterTouchTool, I'm not aware of a Windows alternative.

CopyQ, Touchégg and ElementaryOS (Ubuntu LTS based)

give it a roll.

Then you lose the ability to run things like DAWs and Adobe products. I've used Linux since 1994, but it just doesn't have the commercial software support necessary to make it a serious desktop contender, which is unfortunate.

This is a big part of it for me. I love Logic Pro / Cubase / Ableton, and having access to those is pretty important.

Admittedly part of the reason I prefer macOS to Windows is that I find pro audio software tends to get more love on macOS.
