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.
