> The Apple Watch seems to be the only smart watch I see around - though granted smart watches are not as ubiquitous as smart phones.

From some quick Googling, while they are the biggest player by far, they have around 23% of the smartwatch market. And as far as I have seen, other smartwatches are not so similar to the Apple Watch as Andoid is to iOS.

MacOS is tied to extremely expensive hardware, so it was never going to win. And Apple never actively pushed for training on Macs like MS did, so there are many orders of magnitude more pieces of software exclusive to Windows than to MacOS. Office may be MS's crown jewel, but there is giant long tail of Windows software that dwarfs even Unix, not to mention MacOS in particular.

Macs also simply lack many things you want in corporate office from manageability standpoint, compared to Active Directory with GPO.
