Outside of gaming, there is not a single reason to use Windows over macOS--maybe if you enjoy suffering

Let me name a couple of shitty ones:

  • Your work's IT only supports Windows.
  • You work with industrial control systems or lab equipment that only supports Windows.
  • Hardware vendors are assholes that use proprietary protocols instead of USB device classes and don't release drivers for anything other than Windows.
  • You need to use CUDA.
  • You need to use a dedicated graphics card for some reason or another.
  • You're hosting a server, but not competent enough to use Linux.

None of those are reasons to voluntarily choose Windows, but sadly, they're still real reasons.
