I agree with most of your concerns, but i guess i'm up to a point where there isn't very much choice for quality ecosystems, and mac provides what i need, so here i am..

On my desktop i dualboot Linux/Windows, windows for games only, and linux for when i want 0 distractions at all and focus on programming

I wish i could nuke my windows partition and have linux/mac side by side, but gaming on linux is still a pain today..
