Privacy and data collection-wise MacOS is fine. It's their main selling point. Doesn't even force updates on you. I know it's a low bar, but damn Windows bar is at the floor at this point.

I didn't say it's perfect, but it's not terrible. And I think that page is mostly about Apple services, like iCloud and stuff, not MacOS specifically. It's not necessary to use the services.
I mean, if you log in to Facebook at all, whatever MacOS collects is a drop in a bucket in comparison.
You have no point.
I think their point is that people don't actually buy Apple products for privacy and therefore it's not "the main selling point".
