It's so true for me. 4 years ago I was just unable to work in new company where they forced me to use Mac (never used it before). I had very hard tasks and this MacBook Pro looking all sexy and shiny but unconfigurable. I'm using Linux since 10 years and Windows since 25 years. I always used "Power Tools" to configure my Windows instance, Linux has also many tools to change settings. Now in that advent of Apple Silicon I just made sight (because Apple just did beautiful revolution) and told myself "it's sorry it will never run Linux"

Sadly you missed the golden era for the Mac. Back in the PowerPC days there were lots of developers making fun and useful tweaks and there was a fair amount of configurability built in. It really was a professional's Unix OS back then. Over the past decade or so I've watched the possibilities narrow with every passing version.
