You don't need to, and probably shouldn't change anything. Just accept the fact that though the Apple platform is ok for a wide variety of tasks - by design, it is a jack of all trades - certain tasks, like photo editing can be faster on a properly spec'd Windows machine.
There is a ton of urban mythology associated with Apple products - no, they are not "better" at graphics. No, they are not more "intuitive". No they are not better at return on investment. No, they are not targeted at the power user, because they don't provide any platform that cannot be easily out-performed by a better faster cheaper Windows machine. Yes, they pioneered the concept of computer ecology, providing with seamless transitions between phones (their primary product), tablets and computers. They pioneered the concept of a life-style computer system. Yes, they have a best-in-the-industry marketing department that has created some of the best technology marketing ever. And yes they know how to speak to their customers, and how to make huge profits.
However, Apple users on the whole (broad stroke here), seem to be in one mode when describing why they chose to buy Apple - extremely defensive. And they can't help themselves from spreading inaccurate or just plain false information about the PC experience. My favorite is "I switched to Apple 10 yrs ago and never looked back. Well, a lot has happened in those 10 yrs. Apple has increased it's market share about 20% - from 9% to 11%. PCs have gotten a whole lot more reliable, the hallmark of PC value - the customizability - has remained, and in terms of future proofing - PCs still reign. The one important thing where I prefer to use a Mac over a PC is for video editing - the DCI-P3 wide gamut color space is a great environment, video performance is very good, and Final Cut Pro is an excellent platform to do this on - which I prefer to Adobe Premiere any day. If I am editing on an Avid system, it's a little closer - but I still prefer a Mac.
I never trash talk Apple products. I don't need to. I just present facts - they are more expensive, they are less able to customize for specific needs, they are not easily upgraded - compared to PCs. For some reason this brings out the Mac proponents out of the woodwork - and that's when the baloney starts to come out. And it is mostly trash talk. Very sensitive, these mac fans. And they are typically very dismissive - as in your post, which boils down to "I don't care that YOUR computer is better. I am happy with mine even if it is inferior in just about every way - at least I am happy! And I have a Genius Bar to help me when I get into trouble. So THERE!"
Hey, man, to each his/her own. I use both, so I don't take offense at anything you've written. But I cannot be described by the writings of Abraham Kaplan a 60s psychologist - "I call it the law of the instrument, and it may be formulated as follows: Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding."
OR the old proverb:
"if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" which is explained as:
1. With limited tools, single-minded people apply them inappropriately or indiscriminately
2. If a person is familiar with a certain, single subject, or has with them a certain, single instrument, they may have a confirmation bias to believe that it is the answer to/involved in everything.
This is my go-to definition of a large number of - but not all - Mac and Apple fans. I am an Apple fan for some things. I just recognize that there are other better tools to do certain tasks, and I try to keep a balanced approach and an open mind about things.
