Is it though? I have 2 different USB adapters that work perfectly out of the box for my Windows, Ubuntu and Android devices, but my 2016 mac pro just kernel panicked every time I used either one of them.
And very recently I got my M1 to shit the bed by having a HDMI display connected to the HDMI port.
Point is, Windows integration worked fine, or at least worked. Linux is kind of the odd thing in the story as no other OS has that many people testing and reporting bugs with such a stupidly fast development cycle. So no surprise there. Am guessing Mac developers do bare minimum when it comes to features for hardware support that is not theirs and be done with it. When it crashes, they advise to get “Apple™” thing.
Windows tends to work with ever you throw at it though. Plug it in and somehow it will find a way to work.
That is a side effect of being most dominant OS. Hardware manufacturers naturally support it otherwise there’s no point in manufacturing hardware.
