As someone who alternates between windows and mac I was going to knee-jerk reply to your post explaining why your criticism wasn't valid and windows is actually good enough, but then I took the time to carefully read it and I have to say it's spot on. The ways you describe are exactly the ways that windows is bad.

Still, for me personally the software lead macOS has over windows had shrunk far enough a few years ago that I opted for a thinkpad over a macbook pro. I love that thinkpad, it's an excellent machine. YMMV.
