Eh, macOS is still the UNIX with the most commercial software available. 26 feels like a misstep*, of course, but I’ll take it over a Windows environment any day.

* Xcode 26 is kinda neat, though

A mac can (legally) run more software than any other computer. Obviously, macOS apps work, but you can also run most Windows and Linux applications (in a VM). There's also a bunch of iOS/iPadOS apps that can work and some Android apps can run through BlueStacks.

This is really just a cheap rhetorical trick. Linux [0] can run just as much software, if you include VMs, but you can't legally virtualize MacOS, therefore buying a Mac is the only way to legally run their software, in addition to everything else. Now, you are technically correct, but the casual interpretation of

> Eh, macOS is still the UNIX with the most commercial software available.

isn't really that you can simply run everything unavailable on MacOS in a VM (or several layers of VMs). It's the same as arguing that Powerpoint is all you ever need, as it is Turing complete.

[0] And so can Windows, if you run said VMs in a Linux VM.

It’s ok to have preferences, it’s not ok to say “x is objectively bad” just because you personally don’t like it.

Your comment does what your comment says isn't okay.

Maybe you shouldn't go around policing people's opinions.
