People aren't ditching Windows. They're ditching non-Apple laptops that happen to have Windows.

Cause honestly laptop offerings are sucky one way or another these days.

It's shocking how bad the competition is in the laptop space. There are good options, but none of them have the great battery life, great screen, performance, and good trackpad all in one device. The margins being so low probably don't help the situation. Developing for Windows native is meh edging on bad, so most apps these days are written in Electron or Qt and available on whatever other platform you use. The ship won't sink because of Windows, it'll sink because people aren't buying the hardware that has Windows.
