Right gotcha, wasn't aware there isn't an installable windows for ARM specifically.
I know though, that's kind of my point, the landscape and way in which windows works on way way more configurations compared to Mac (simply due to the differences we've both pointed out) makes it not quite a fair comparison, Apple controls all aspects of the hardware and ONLY their hardware (or choice of hardware) is made to work with it, so it's much easier for them to develop and force people over to ARM or whatever specific system they're pushing developers and users towards, whereas windows is much more backwards compatible and users/manufacturers/devs have a lot more options out there.
Similar to Android vs iOS, it's a lot easier to tightly control and force certain things when you're the arbiter of where people can install apps, what hardware it can run on, and every design aspect.
Definitely true
