Who’s to say?
Ask any craftsman if he could do his job as well with tools bought in the cut rate consumer market or does he buy the best, often spending top dollar?
I just talked to a friend who showed me his brand new $150 carpenter's hammer... and it was by far better balanced than any hammer I have ever owned... and I have bought some top brands in my life.
Does a Chef use knives bought at the Dollar Tree Store or does he spend upwards of a thousand dollars for knives that will serve him well for a career. Both are the same tool and they may even look exactly the same... but there IS a distinct difference and the Chef can instantly which is better.
In the instance of which is the better tool between Macs and PCs, "who's to say" can only be those people who have intimately used both. Generally, that means only Mac owners. Most PC owners have never even touched a Mac, yet Mac users have generally been PC users who switched to the Mac for good and well considered reasons after using Windows PCs for years either at work or at home and getting fed up. PC only users can only relate to their limited experiences with Windows... while Mac users have a greater experience to use when making a determination as to which is better.
Interestingly, I have never seen a Mac user write "It's only a tool" in any forum... that usually comes from people using Windows PCs for work. ;^)>
