I have used window as a beginner and then shifted to Linux for better development experience. And at last satisfied by MacBook. Why not Windows! Slow bootup. No bash terminal. Most of the tutorial for Unix based system. Hang oftenly. Windows upd...

On mobile so I'm sorry for being terse.
I can't speak to Linux, but you are flat wrong, lack knowledge, or lack some bit of understanding in regards to nearly every point. As many have said the title is click baity which makes the fact that the content is incorrect even worse.
Rewrite this as more of an opinion piece "Why I chose to develop in a Mac" and you gain credibility. The inverse has happened by stating fallacies as truth.
New MacBook Pros (2016-2019) are terrible, mine (maxed out 2017 version) had a semi-dysfunctional USB-C port, screen was delaminating after 18 months, had overheating issues after 8 months (this was the quad-core version, not even the 6 or 8 core newer models), graphics card glitching so badly some days that i had to use an external monitor, screen sometimes not switching on when opening the lid, random blackouts / freezes and the last straw was the keyboard, some keys getting stuck, another one causing duplicates when you type and my e-key just snapped off, the clips keeping it in place simply broke off.
Had the laptop not been stolen after the last repairs, i would probably have thrown it away, every repair meant being without it for a week or more - totally unreliable. (compare this to my 2011 MacBook Pro which lasted for 7 years and which i sold for 50% of the price i bought it for, the news ones just can't handle heavy-duty workloads)
Going back to Linux as soon as i can find a replacement machine.
Security-wise, in the last 5 years, MacOS was actually doing worse than Windows, security on Linux is still tight compare to the other two.

I hope hashnode adds a downvote emoji or something. Clickbait sensationalist. This article is annoying to say the least. Not even going to comment on the content.

I'd have ignored this post if you only had wrote about Windows Vs Mac.
Buddy you are so wrong about "Linux".
Idk what distro you are using, maybe Ubuntu 18 on a cheap 14 inch 2008 acer laptop, but linux-based OS be it BSD, SUSE or debian are very performant on cheap hardware and on the other hand macOS is a bloated crap that can only work on a 1.7lac gig.
MBP does not support linux, but if you ever get chance in future do install debian on it, the thing will fly like unicorn. Boot time is like 3 seconds, apps opens up in the blink of eye.
I don't like MacOS because it locks me as developer to do low-level stuff with it.
And btw, MacOS is BSD based OS.
Your words on Linux:
Updates increase the performance but come with some bugs
So you are trying to say Mac OS release comes with no bugs?
