What it concludes

macOS offers great hardware, a Unix-based system, and smooth out-of-the-box developer tools, but is expensive, hard to upgrade, and locked into Apple's ecosystem.
Linux dominates server environments and offers maximum customization and flexibility, but requires navigating complex distros and troubleshooting configurations.
Windows is widely compatible with hardware and software, and Windows Subsystem for Linux provides a native Linux environment inside Windows, though it carries software bloat and telemetry concerns.
