I get the joke, but I paid $200 for Logic, MainStage, and a host of other Apple programs on my Mac all bundled that I use as my main source of income, and they have updated for free for the past 8 years. When I bought a new machine, I was able to use the license on both machines. I can even load those programs onto other Macs without paying extra. I made all of that money back after selling just 1 composition. The OS is also free to update, even through major updates, unlike Windows.

Shockingly MacOS now supports hardware thats almost as old as the hardware Windows 11 25H2 supports. Now the requirements on the Windows side are Intel 8th Gen or newer or AMD Ryzen 2000 or newer (with some snapdragon chips thrown in there), meanwhile MacOS still supports the M1 which is at this point almost six years old.

(unless this is a refrence to how Apple used to charge for updates which they havent done for a very long time)
