Maybe it’s gotten better, but that same reason made me switch from windows to macos(with some Linux in between, which was not great indeed). That plus not having to reboot every time you sneeze.

Rebooting often was true for XP and earlier. I own 4 Windows 10 machines, 2 laptops and 2 desktops. I never rebooted the laptops. Desktops were rebooted when there was a power glitch because I don't own an UPS.

These day I read more stories about people switching from macOS to Windows than the other way around.

Unless you disabled Windows Updates, your systems are probably broken if you haven't had to reboot the laptops.

I literally never rebooted my Windows 10 laptop other than for rare updates or driver installs that required it.

OTOH I have to reboot Ubuntu from time to time (once every week or two) because I can't solve a problem (eg. the suspend getting in a snit).
