Apple is undeniably a premium product for consumers, and its OSes get the halo effect from that. Whether they're "premium" to develop or even use for is an entirely different question.
Ironically macOS is more "open" (as in source available) than Windows.
Microsoft was anti open source until the world changed. Windows was never open source or source available. It's ironic they own github. It is more shocking macOS is source available.

Nitpick: It's actual Open Source, not Source Available. Not the whole thing, but what code they release is under permissive open source licenses.

Sorry, mostly permissive licenses; there are a tiny number of copyleft things in there (famously, the last GPLv2 version of bash)
A simple narrative doesn't exist connecting these three product battles. The only thing that comes to mind is macOS, iOS and OpenAI are designed for the novice. You could probably add Coinbase vs Binance or Uber vs Lyft or Facebook vs Google Plus and be able to keep that narrative.
