I have so many ifdef __APPLE__ hacks in my assembler/compiler. And they are much harder to fix when I had no Apple Silicon available, only github actions and some models and gas sources.

But basically it's similar to elf vs coff. windows also uses several modern alignments and a shadow stack to make life easier. But arm has so much more scratch registers, much more fun.
