Well, you do have some minor points in your argument. But, those are very minor points.
The Macs are made with limited specs, and so is the OS. By limited, I mean that, they don’t support a lot of the same things that a Windows OS is expected to support and serve. If you want simplicity without expandability and controlled by Apple, then, of course, Macs are the devices for you.
But, if one wants to look for affordability, and capabilities/features, and support for a decade or more, and if you’re also looking for an ecosystem with millions of applications, then you have to go with a Windows machine.
BTW, within my family, we have 2 iPhone 5s, and 2 iPads, and 2 Android smartphones (LG G2; love that device), and one Windows smartphone, one Windows tablet, and 3 laptops, and a humongous-power desktop with Windows. I use the mobile stuff on the road, by the devices which get most of my family’s usage, are the PCs. Those PCs can do it all, except when portability is more practical.
Also, I didn’t need to hear your history with hardware and/or software, since, it doesn’t make any difference when it comes to the reality of usage and specs and needs. I could brag about being in the computer industry for more than 40 years myself, but, I find it unnecessary. I like reality and practicality much more.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooook....

Limited nothing. I seem to recall a time when Mac's were banned from exporting to certain countries specifically because of their advanced architecture. I can expand my Mac's physical hardware capabilities (Storage, Memory) just as easily as I can my PC.
It appears your argument boils down to "there's more apps for the PC than there are for the Mac" sure, I'll cede that point. It's a red herring IMO because you're missing the one of the key reasons people purchase them in the first place: ease of use. Then there's stability, reliability, the fact Mac's don't get attacked by viruses and malware constantly, and there's no such thing as "patch Tuesday" for Mac's.

Not a point we need to argue. It's well known Microsoft supports operating systems far longer than they probably should which BTW stifles innovation on their part. Mac's don't have this problem. ;-)

I didn't need to hear how many smartphones, desktops, etc.. you have in your home. But if that's all ya got, you have some catching-up to do. ;-)
