> for creative people, macOS is a laughably small platform, with a very small user-base, bringing in next to nothing money-wise, nothing contribution-wise

... As a user, statements like that – about any platform – honestly just make me want to avoid anything from the developers who make them.



The platform matters. Mac is intentionally expensive and exclusionary. They won't even sell their expensive OS to run on perfectly functional low cost computers. If you are going to blame the victims for that, I don't want you as a user either.


Apple got to where they are because users generally agree with them.

If a developer is going to attack users, the users are better off on Apple's side.
