  Well, boot Win11 24H2 on a nice 13th gen i7, and you have a great
experience.  That's what Microsoft supports.  Linux is the solution
for others, but they often overlook it.
 

They depend on
Microsoft and Adobe to develop applications.

  Nothing.
 

I actually enjoyed
seeing the free trial of M$ Office for Mac.  Showed it to my mom,
who's always used Office for Winblows.  The Mac version of Office is
actually great software.  And I imagine Adobe's stuff is pretty great
on it, and the movie editing, etc.  But for a typical PC user, posting
on Usenet everyday, macOS is a quirky choice.

Again with the "quirky".

  I was blown away by Finder.  Really amusing, how little effort Apple's
programmers put in.

How is the Finder's GUI so materially different from MS-Windows's?
Certainly its not so trivial as how the File Explorer buttons are on the top right, but in Finder they're on the top left?

I support computer users for a living, and what I can tell you is that
while I technically have quite a few clients who use Macs, I almost
never see them anymore.

They just use their computers, doofus.

 I'm saying if they're having problems with a computer, they should
learn how to correct it, instead of being a sissy and getting tech
support.

You've clearly never professionally run a team:  success comes from keeping one's high value workers focused on where they bring the greatest value, not being distracted by lower-valued tasks.  This isn't being a "sissy", but is straightforward resource optimization by delegating the bullshit lower-value stuff to other personnel.
Just like how one assigns cleaning the bathroom to the janitor.
