When I was 14 I enjoyed spending an evening installing NVIDIA drivers. I'm 32 now and spend my nights changing diapers.

When I go to use my laptop these days, the last thing I want to do is deal with system admin, I just want to work or play.

Yup, it’s exactly this for me. I recently spent about six months with Fedora. It felt good and did everything I needed it to, but it was plagued by connectivity issues with my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

I have things to do. Diagnosing driver/chipset compatibility problems doesn’t help me get those things done, so back to macOS I went.

I dunno if you firmly believe this or really just haven't kept up with this, but you basically just install linux on a laptop and it works (including graphics), and thats 99% of the time.

I know you mean 99% just as ‘most of the time’, but 99% means every 100th work day it’s not working, or about twice a year. I think reliably is really important for work tools. Depends what you do of course.
