macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.
The problem is that Apple doesn't seem to care. They willy nilly change things and restrict basic functions with zero regard for those who want to support or develop for there platforms.
What Apple does with iOS and macOS developers is straight up extortion.
The same thing with the desktop. They make major changes without telling a sole. Then the loyal Apple fans blame the developers.
Nope, you can run winass on worse Mashines than mac, however i still think its incredibly wasteful with resources, but its both of them.
I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.
Windows runs like ass on the Mx Chips in general.
Apple Software runs good on Apple hardware, yes its way better optimized and made for each other than the Microsoft surface products for example. Doesn't mean Apple Software runs resource efficiently in general.
But don't get me wrong, i hate windows more than Apple software, but thats mostly because im forced to work with windows.
The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mineβs an i7.
You've clearly never run hackintosh. MacOS runs better than Windows even on PCs not made by Apple. The difference is especially obvious on Laptops, where MacOS gets almost as much battery life as Linux, whilst Windows barely gets about 2/3rds as much
Sure, but you can't run it on anything but Apple hardware
