Or even worse, you own a Mac (say, through work), but aren't entirely in the Apple ecosystem and don't want to relearn everything and fight muscle memory every time you switch devices.

I have (but or course Apple make it hard to do so you need third party software). But that doesn't help with special mac only software that has it's own style, like Arc or Zed.

Most people who say “all editors have vim keybindings just use that” miss the fact that bindings or not, a lot of vim’s functionality is just not available on other editors.

And that Vim is more than its keybindings, despite the often repeated jokes.
Tabs, window splits, search and countless other details may work very differently, and usually not completely with the keyboard.

Exactly. If all you needed to move off vim were keybindings, then I submit that you weren’t really using vim at all.
