I agree there are uncountable negatives as an Apple consumer, but I'm not sure they are any greater in number than the uncountable negatives of being a Windows consumer - and I kind of like Windows. Or for that matter if you're not a developer the uncountable negatives of Ubuntu.
Ubuntu desktop... I tried multiple times across multiple decades, I've given up.
Not sure what Windows issues exist outside licences disappearing upon reformatting. But that's still exponentially cheaper to fix then any Apple product.
