There are lot of small things that to me personally add up to a much bigger annoyance when using macOS. Lack of official hypervisor means I have to use 3rd party stuff - few times I used it I had kernel panics on wakeup. Old versions of all command line utilities - need brew to install that which has broken on me at least once. Updates are slow - both in terms of availability and installation times. If I need new stuff, I am forced to upgrade to entirely new major release.

Compare that to a rolling release distro like Arch or fast moving one like Fedora or slower moving Ubuntu LTS that gets HWE stack upgrades life is really easy. You get a built in hypervisor (KVM) that can be used by the Android emulator, your libvirt VMs and docker. Want to run dtrace/bpftool - no need to compromise security. Need latest GCC - easy enough to get - it goes on and on. Not to mention the package managers are pretty good on all Linux distros now a days.

With Windows the downside was that WSL 1 was slow and macOS was faster than that although slower than Linux for FS operations etc. But now with WSL2 pretty much matching native Linux performance and allowing you to use docker natively - it suddenly becomes a much better option - can buy cheaper hardware that does what you want to without relying on Apple to give you the right keyboard, # of ports etc.
