I agree with what you write about performance and stability, but there is one other metric where MacOS has always excelled: Consistency. From the way hotkeys work to how screen elements look, to how macs interact with other Apple products in your possession.

Note: I switched to Win10+WSL in 2018 - it's a good and productive environment, but I do miss certain aspects of MacOS still. I think valuing consistency over backwards compatibility is a valuable choice, as long as the people in charge have very good taste. Not so sure about that anymore in recent iterations though.
