The other problem is things like DRM being increasingly common. Last I checked, many video streaming providers either don't support Linux, or only serve low-quality videos. With Macs you know they'll get support.

Many content rights contracts I see instruct the streaming platforms that they must detect Linux and either give low quality or deny the playback entirely.
It's because, rightly or not, they don't trust Linux in comparison to MacOS and view it as a piracy vector.
