Thing is, there are alternatives but people settle for cheap and convenient. Lots of people hate Apple because of some odd contrarian marketing reason. Apple doesn’t do this. Linux is another option. Both are hugely better for regular people than Windows.

How you can be so sure about Apple all of their software and now their hardware is proprietary? They are the only ones that know what's going behind the scenes. I would not trust Apple at all I prefer Linux over anything.
