    Well of course they work on Mac. It’s a closed system, a walled garden of compability. Its main selling-point for the technically challenged.

    I would not really see that a a benefit though, as it’s merely a symptom of an illness, even if inherently not bad by itself. If one doesn’t care, then there’s no problem at all and mac wins. Same as windows and android. Then it comes down to taste in UI or favourite tools. Or even “the brand” for the intellectually challenged.

        As said, it all depends on the foundation if you value your data/freedom or not. If not, then fine, everything ia great. But many of us do to one extent or another. And then it’s pretty obvious.

        It’s not the working that is the illness, but the reason it does. I like when shit just works, I juggle 20 machines at home 😁

            OK, then you, personally, are kinda safe-ish if you never do personal stuff on your work-machine. Fine. But most apple products are in private hands, not a mandated work-tool people can’t escape.
