Why I use it: I just never had any good hardware for a linux laptop and I hate to tinker with configuration. There's always things that work so-so with linux laptops. Macbook gives good hardware, excellent system integration and I like the defaults out of the box. None of the things you listed have importance for me.
I would probably use a linux distro on a desktop machine though.
Linux is great to revive old macbooks that are no longer supported by Apple though. Linux mint on 10 years macbooks works great.
