Your statement is ridiculous. The last 10 years? When was the last time you used a windows laptop provisioned by a company with a big enterprise style IT department? You know, the ones bogged down with tons of endpoint security crap, Citrix daemons, compliance daemons etc. Its still a shitshow that you have to use Linux or MacOS to escape in many places.

Unfortunately that is no longer reserved for Windows. JamF policies lockdown, DigitalGuardian, CyberReason Activeprobe, and various forced Firefox/Chome extensions are now causing slowdowns and crashes on “enterprise IT managed” Mac too.

Sounds like the issue is the big enterprise style IT departments rather than the hardware or the OS.

I use a MacBook Pro 16” for work and have to have Sophos and Jamf installed. I’m operating at 60-80% of the performance I had before those became policy. Don’t underestimate what corporate IT can do to any machine.

It’s a bit much to throw all that at the PC/Windows side.
Sure companies fill them with shit, that’s not really a flaw in the underlying hardware/OS though. Those same people have less scope for that on OSX/Linux sure, but again that doesn’t mean the software/hardware is better.

Oh the "security" crapware also infests corporate macOS machines these days.
