Good points. I'm not against Macs and may use them at some point once my current rigs go out. Still I'll need a good reason to pay the price premium.
I've only owned two Macbook Pros other than what I've used for work. I've also only owned two iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. Before those it was all PC and Andriod hardware.

In my limited experience, the Mac laptops seem to last longer and perform better over time than a similar PC laptop. Also, simply by nature of far less users there are less viruses that you have to deal with compared to windows based systems. Given those two assumptions the prices are probably comparable, but your calculus may be different.

This is 100% anecdotal and not factual.

The only factual piece of this is if you use an ancient laptop with a mechanical hard drive and old versions of MacOS. Windows 10 does perform slowly with a spinning disk, so does recent versions of MacOS, but it still does better than windows.

A W10 laptop with 8-16gb of RAM and an SSD will live just as long and healthy of a life as an Apple Device.

In the end, both operating systems are great. Just use what you like and quit being that someone else likes the other
