I never felt the need to switch to the Mac platform because the cost/benefit ratio was always in favor of Windows-based machines. Not only because that's the operating system I was used to -- but also because I saw no reason to pay a premium for a Mac. All this changed in November 2020, when Apple introduced the first Mac computers with its in-house M1 SoC. I was in the market for a new laptop and Apple finally had a machine that could get me, a 100% Windows guy, excited about Macs.
