I have less experience (with MacOS), having only used it for perhaps a year for work, a couple years ago. But I do know that when it comes to the overall system, I have vastly more choices when it comes to hardware, being able to upgrade, being able to repair. There's just far less coupling between the operating system and the hardware than you find with Mac. So it certainly doesn't feel as free to me.

But the UI might be similarly as open as Windows - I don't have sufficient experience to know.
