Haha, fair enough, although I do think there is still some interesting objective points, e.g., the NVIDIA/CUDA support is a clear advantage for Windows today, and on the flipside macOS is still the place where software happens first (e.g., Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Lightroom all were launched first for Mac).

Don't you think you're generalizing from a set of cherry-picked examples? How would you even approach trying to demonstrate this?

They're not cherry-picked they're just the most important software historically to my personal, subjective value system.
