You are 100% correct. I focused on Mac because my personal machine is a MacBook :)

That was part of my failure. I wanted to solve a problem for Windows but didn't have a decent Windows machine myself! Had to rely on a 10-year old laptop to do testing and building, which inevitably didn't work well.

Windows would also have let you target business people with specific niche business problems. You could be the best search for legal documents, invoices, etc.

Funny you say that. Legal and invoice were actually the two avenues I actually explored! There definitely is an opportunity there but I found that there is an intense status quo to fight.

Was running Windows in a VM not an option?

I tried Parallels with like three different accounts :)

But I also found that a native Windows machine throws a lot more errors than a VM. For example, having a sqlite3.dll ended up being critical on the Windows 10 machine but not on the Parallels VM. Not sure why!
