The trashing of the Apple machines is undeserved, but the Windows one is relatively accurate.

Windows is the thing that everybody uses, like a car. But, it should be a modern car where the car manufacturer requires you to pay a yearly subscription to unlock basic features that shipped with the car. It's a car that you can't fix yourself, and have to take to an authorized service station where they pay a fee to get access to the tools that allow them to diagnose the car.

I don't know what the Mac one should be. A modern Mac is really powerful. It's a Unix machine with a clean and polished UI. But, it's true that it shields the average user from the complexity if they don't want to dig deeper. Maybe it's a modern Bugatti. A luxurious vehicle that has obscene power under the hood.
