I entirely stopped playing Ubisoft games because they require me to sign in to play.
I tried Anno 1800 because it was free on PS+ and immediately ran into a login wall.
Same thing when I tried Assassin’s Creed.
They’re not even online games. I get needing to log in to CoD because you’re playing online, but blocking the offline mode is asinine.
So why would I bother buying an Ubisoft title when I know I’m going to open it up and hit that stupid login wall and privacy policy.

What is the insurance company if not a death panel?
I don’t think it’s just marketing, the early Macs got a lot of performance out of their graphics routines, and then Mac OS had tight integrations with postscript which made it good for graphical design.
I think these days yes a powerful graphics card will get you very far, but overall macOS feels much less hostile to me than windows. I think Linux is kind of a mess for graphics stuff, there are a few good open source tools, but the major design suites aren’t well supported.
Anyone using Lineage? How is it?

Is macOS more secure than OpenBSD?
App sandbox, SIP, and the Secure Enclave are awesome, but I don’t know how macOS actually compares to the BSDs these days.
And that’s the kind of thing their metrics will never reveal to them.
I think if you just asked players you’d get an overwhelming pushback on the account issues.
