Oh indeed - linux is the most flexible OS there is (maybe BSD, but I
have no experience...)

But when your objective is "run commercial software x,y and z" Mac does
make sense.

We have 1 shared Mac. It was not cheap (even with discount) - so we use
our other chromebooks and linux laptops for "consumer/everyday" stuff
and pass the Mac around for the stuff it does well.
