Who is choosing to use macOS, where non-Apple monitors and other 3rd party hardware just stops working after minor updates and then starts working again after another update, without any official statement from Apple that there was a problem and a fix?
I do. Because for all issues it has, it is still much better than whatever Windows has to offer.

At least my WiFi doesn't turn off indefinitely during sleep until I power cycle whole laptop because of a shitty driver.
So what, Windows does the same. Printers [1], WiFi [2], VPN [3], Bluetooth devices [4], audio [5] - and that's just stuff I found via auto-completing "windows update breaks" on Google in under 5 minutes.
The only problem is that Apple is even worse at communicating issues than Microsoft is.
The big difference is that Microsoft - at least usually - confirms and owns the issues.
With Apple, it's usually just crickets... nothing in the release notes, no official statements, nothing. It's just trial and error for the users to see if a particular update fixed the issue.
