The primary reason to buy Macs isn't the hardware, it's macOS.

I'm sure people want this to be true. But it's simply not true. People are learning to accept MacOS to use the hardware. People are buying the Neo because it's cheap. People are buying the Air because it's better hardware than similarly priced computers.

Worse than all of that, long-time Mac users are abandoning the OS.

When the other choice is Windows, then for sure. I’m a loyal Apple user, and I don’t hate macOS, but it’s definitely not the main draw for me.
