It's hard to justify to pay for an operating system, when Linux and Mac OS is for free.

I wouldn't call MacOS 'free' given it has very strict requirements for proprietary hardware.

Free in a sense that I don't have to pay extra for it (comes with the machine) and no extra fee for new versions either.

Windows comes with machines too. Just because it comes with an Apple computer does not mean you aren't paying for it. You certainly are paying for it.
