With iPhones yeah, but MacOS is not very locked down at all. You can run all the unsigned code you want.
Although you could argue the new Apple Silicon Macs are kind of locked down, since Apple only allows kernel extensions on the older Intel Macs

I don't know. I think Mac gets a lot of hate simply because it's a Unix that was sold to the devil and comes with a satanic concierge service.
Like, I'm not saying that selling your soul to the devil is possible but if I had to pick a handful of people that on the whole I would say probably did I would pick Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Elon musk, Jeffrey bezos, Larry Page, Vladimir Putin, and probably every Hollywood social elite and musician that sells a platinum record, every Republican senator, congress person, and every president after Jimmy Carter, and every CEO whose company is worth more than 10 million dollars who didn't inherit the company from their parents.

growing up my family had a mac desktop that i had access to while really young. eventually realized mac is a little terrible, so i tried bootcamp to get some proper use out of the computer. i successfully installed windows, but somehow fucked up and formatted the mac partition. all for windows to also suck

This isn't right at all... Mac's are awful if you want to do things like play most video games. Linux is much the same.
That's right. I said it. Come downvote me, fanboys, I don't mind. I've seen what makes you cheer.

Proton is way better than whatever thing Apple has going on (didn't they say they were working on their own proton-like thing? did they just forget about it? I remember seeing a video with some sort of dev preview a while ago...)

She must have had a Mac. Only Windows teaches both the knowledge and the fury to convince children to switch to Linux.
