I think the apple experience is friction-less for their target market.
Live in their ecosystem, and everything 'just works'. Watch, Phone, Tablet, Laptop.
Linux/Windows you don't quite have that level of integration ...
You expect more from luxury items than with a $300 windows/linux laptop, a $100 fitbit, or a $200 android tablet - good luck with getting a similar level of interoperability between them...

To be pedantic, the integration outside of Apple's ecosystem is available for the cognoscenti. Not for the masses.

I know you didn't explicitly say "you only use Apple products because you've been suckered in by advertising," but it's hard not to take it as the subtext, and it's something that's long rubbed me the wrong way.
Apple advertises similar to Luxury car buyers to make you believe you are getting a high quality product. But it's going to be really hard to prove things are quicker.
