The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Apple products are generally fine, its their ethos that sucks. Closed, expensive, proprietary.

Its far too limiting IMO. Open MacOS and it would be quite a compelling option

Theyre expensive as any other flagships tho

The hardware is rarely ever comparable. You show me a like for like hardware comparison, and Mac will always be more expensive with fewer upgrade paths.

Alternatively, you can look at a price for price comparison and get some absolutely hilarious discrepancies. For instance, at the price of a full specs Mac pro, you can build a top end pc running dual 4090s. With some cash to spare.
