>On the contrary, I use macOS for what it is and the value of its development stack

OK, I get what you mean.

But "what it is" includes being a very usable Unix core that can run all kinds of stuff one might want.

So, like you, I don't expect macOS to be a GNU/Linux, or cater to tinkering and Linux/FOSS preferences. And I do my Linux-based development in Docker, remote VPS and servers, and so on.

But, on the other hand, I wouldn't carry two laptops, a "Linux" one for running postgres and redis and gnuplot, and a Mac one for running XCode and Instruments and Photoshop, out of some principle that Mac is Mac and Linux is Linux and "never the twain (use cases) shall meet".
