It is the distinction between developMENT friendly verses developER friendly. Windows is incredibly developMENT friendly in terms of writing software, but it hasn't historically been developER friendly (i.e. power user).

They've been doing a lot recently to address that, including the Power User Menu, "For Developer" Settings, WSL, Task View (multi-desktop), better multi-monitor support, etc.

MacOS still has advantages, but the gap has narrowed.

I have no idea on what basis you are making that assertion. I feel like until Windows 10, Windows enabled me as a user far more than any other contemporary OS.
