Yes, I have years of experience with both and macOS is way less of a user-hostile experience. People buy Apple products because they like them.
Some people buy Apple products because they have succeeded in making it a minor status symbol. It's interesting, because one symbol is wealth (Apple devices cost more), but the other is a symbol of being a creative professional.

I would describe myself via metaphor: the redneck who likes to race cars, and doesn't care about the car as long as it has most of its wheels, and he'll drive the hell out of it.

Because they like them better than Windows actually.

They're both crap, Apple is less crap.
