That "which makes it worth sacrificing the ability to run your machine the way you want" is utterly superfluous.

The way I want to run my machine is by running macOS and using its features, app ecosystem, and so on.

Not once have I ever felt I've had to make a sacrifice to do so.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, my comments are in the context of the OP's article which is specifically about a scenario where you lack control in macOS. If you're someone who doesn't care about being able to do what the article wants to do, then your use case doesn't fall within the scope of what I'm referring to.
