It's not that subjectıve actually. Apple does usability research and collects feedback and usage data all the time. It's not an artistic endeavour but a methodological study. The free and open source projects often lack in that or don't have it at all.

Some people can prefer other systems and that's alright.

UX isn't an exact science. Google and Microsoft also do studies, with testing and what not. Would you say their UX is perfect?

Nothing is perfect but Microsoft's UI's are also good. These studies are not subjective at all, they work. However, things can go bad when the company have other concerns like branding, upselling or compatibility. Apple tends to strike that balance better.
