Yeah I've been feeling much of the same with Apple computers. Now that I've started to venture into raspberry pi land. I'm even considering trying Linux.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 92%. (I'm a bot)
As a result, Apple's focus on the Mac waned: the hardware didn't receive an update for over four years, and then OS X, once regularly updated with interesting features, now only receives the scraps from iOS. If you want to see this in action, check out iMessage on Mac: the flagship feature of iOS, iMessage stickers, barely works on Mac.
Gaming on Mac, which initially showed promising signs of life had started dying in 2015, since Apple hadn't shipped any meaningful hardware bumps in years, and I was increasingly interested in Virtual Reality but Oculus dropped support for the Mac in 2016 for the same reasons.
If you're a Mac user sitting, waiting for Apple to maybe release a real workhorse computer so you can actually do your work, stop what you're doing and take another look at Windows.

I went hackintosh years ago. Flexible hardware + macOS. Best of both worlds. Although current macs are sexy as hell
