I think Apple makes some good hardware, though overall I'm not big into Apple.. I don't really like their limited offerings & limited upgradability with the Mac and Apple's desire to control a lot of things..  I've heard macOS Catalina nad later requires software to be 'notarized' in order to install it - that seems like it might be a hurdle that limits what software you can install on it. Normally I try to make good common-sense decisions about the software I install, and I generally don't have an issue.  Also, if you want to develop iOS apps, you need to have a Mac, because the software needed to develop & build iOS apps (XCode) only runs on a Mac.
