Not to mention, there's no walled garden of applications on Linux. While the "free for all" aspect of applications may be scary for some, the "welcome to adulthood, now make your own decisions" is a welcome change for many. Again, this is my personal opinion.

An issue I see with this is that not everyone has the time or will to customize their OS to their specific needs. In this regard, it might be arguable that Apple has done a reasonably good job at advertising/showcasing the ease of use of macOS out of the box.
