Thank you for your insight - and of course it does come down to personal preference. I am too used to Windows at this point and very comfortable with the hardware and software.
I will admit - Windows has been very annoying. I paid a premium just to make sure I had windows 7 on my computer over 8 and 10. I am hoping your OS providers are not trying to screw you over!
I don't think so but I think the OS has become more like IOS in many ways. I still prefer it to Windows (especially Windows 10).
