This is a strange read. Making assumptions about an entire platform from a few cherry picked examples. That's a very low quality post.
Having worked in both platforms I can say their conclusions are demonstrably false, if not outright biased.

I can see this two ways: some people WANT to be entertained by the UI when they're surfing. Others like myself, don't want extraneous distractions. The UI should be secondary to the information.
The second quote on the developer choosing OSX over Windows, is quite interesting. I would think that an application developer, being even more into their craft, would eventually want LESS interference from the device UI, to where they would become platform agnostic and roll their own "life" into the application's UI.
As far as developer choice goes, that's going to depend on what gets that particular individual fired up. Personally speaking, it's the possibility to produce something that's both polished and thoughtful on top of being highly functional. For me a project where the human interface is to be phoned in sounds like a miserable slog.

No remote work for anyone: bad policy.
Everyone on every team can work remote: sometimes a bad policy.
That’s my position. A lot of people who strongly feel they should always have the option of full-time remote work object to that.
I agree with a lot of what you say, but where is your proof of this? Everyone worked remotely for 2 years and we all made money.
