Fuck Windows AND MacOS honestly
I’ve owned computers since the 286 was a big deal.
I’ve NEVER had an SSD ”die”

I had one die in my home server. Hadn't gotten around to any backups or redundancy yet because it was "just" for configs and metadata for media apps. Took me like 5-10 hours to rebuild the config though which was annoying. Would take me much longer now if it happened again. I no longer have that SSD as a single point of failure in my system.
Lucky you
I've gone through two NVMe drives these past few years.
Both just started fucking up and crashing my whole OS with them.
I'd be looking hard at my PSU if I was you.
THAT died and got replaced last month.
Came home from a trip
Plugged the machine in
Popping sound
It was dead
I'd say you won't have problems with nvme's dying anymore then.

Now do Windows 11.
Windows/Mac fanboy wars went out of style 20 years ago.

Still better than Windows, though.
The only thing that makes Apple marginally better is that the company spying on you tries to pretend like they're not in it for your sweet data.
They might not be selling it right now, but only because they keep making money hand over fist from the non-repairable proprietary bullshit they produce. Once that faucet starts to slow down, you better believe they'll be the next Google.
They're both about the same in terms of privacy so that's quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.
Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don't have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.

As someone who has used Linux as their primary desktop OS for about 7 years now, you don't have to tell me that Windows sucks.

I don't use any accounts for my OS at all.
you don't have to tell me that Windows sucks.
Then I don't see why you have a problem with me saying macOS is better than Windows.

You mean Linux? I don't either but that's irrelevant, isn't it?
What modern os can be used without any accounts? TempleOS?
