It works fine for me!

People who want to run macOS can do so. Why does everyone act like a free product not being everything for everyone is some kind of moral failing?

Probably because the free software movement is making (very vocally) it a moral failing that all software should be free. If all software must be free, then all free software must be everything for everyone.

This RMS-style ideological "free software movement" is a tiny minority of the people who actually use, work on, or care about software like Linux. It's best to just ignore them.
