It might look like I outright hate products with an apple logo, but that's not the case.

I just deeply dislike working on them. Why? A single-button mouse is fine, but… A scroll wheel that only scrolls in one direction slows me down! I mostly work with windows that are maximised (not full screen — I want to see the menu bar). But why does macOS X, when I click the + button in the window title bar, only enlarge the window by a tiny amount?

I had to press the + button several times to stretch the window out. Then a week later at school after an upgrade the button had a completely different function! It switched the window to full screen! These are small things, but when I need to work fast they drive me up the wall. Especially when I regularly switch between operating systems throughout the day. I get the feeling that Apple always has to have something extra.
