I don't know about average joe is, but I actually used macOS9 and MacOSX alongside windows, linux, solaris, and freeBSD and I gotta tell you that I hate macOS. everything else has a place, but not macos.
Also, you completely ignore the price issue. You argue for controlled hardware and software, aka the apple model. But such control comes at the price of being more expensive. Even if average joe DOES enjoy a mac more, does he enjoy it more enough to justify the extra price tag?
The thing is everyone who can afford a PC can afford a Mac, just not a new one. I'm surprised that as a linux user you don't see the benefit of Mac OS, it's a great GUI coupled with a BSD subsystem, meaning that all the integration you need with linux servers is availiable to you, without thirdparty software and it has a good GUI for when you need to use that side of things, for me Mac OS is what Ubuntu used to advertise itself as Linux for human beings.
Obviously there a huge differences between Mac OS and Linux, but the interconnectivity, and the idea that if you get annoyed with a GUI thing just fix it in terminal is there.
