Apple products work like an appliance. You don’t have to worry so much about how it is working, it just works and does the thing you need. It saves you time.
A lot of folks on here want to worry about how their computer is working. This is very time consuming and can be pretty frustrating to manage on your own. If everyone did this society wouldn’t have other important things.

Add 25 years of IT work, and I now have zero interest in doing computer stuff as a hobby anymore. I used to love tinkering. Had multi-boot systems, spun up VMs just because I could, turned a minitower into a JBOD SCSI enclosure, etc. Now I just want stuff to work without fucking with it. That used to be Apple… and while they’ve gotten away from that a fair amount it’s still head and shoulders above Microsoft and Google.
If big tech gets awful enough that I have to consider brushing up on Linux, I might as well just fuck off into the woods and see if I can make friends with some raccoons or something. I’m tired, man.
I spent 20 years setting up and maintaining Microsoft software and systems, and a coworker convinced me to try a Mac to test replacing our executive laptops. I was quickly sold, and haven’t looked back. I avoid windows like the plague now and everyone except my gamer son is living the sweet Mac life. Simple, performant, effective.
