Josef is an absolute genius.. He told Arun he didn't know whether to get Mac or Windows so he ended up getting both lmao

There's some missing points on your end:
1- upgradability
2- variety of choices 300$-5000$ laptops
Also as an engineer it's literally not an option since 80%+ of the software I need isn't even available on Mac.
I think it boils down to the person's needs and choice there is no clear winner

The problem here is that this is not "Windows" vs Mac. It's this particular Dell computer. There are so many options available at this price point.

As much as I would like to buy a macbook, for the awesome screen, battery, sound, optimization it has, the lack of compatibility with apps is in my opinion what makes macbook pretty much useless, I want to be able to use any and every app out there, I am not a person that just sticks to 2 or 3 tools that everyone uses and calls it a day, I need customizability to be able to use apps that were just released and that no one would think of using.

You are not testing Mac Vs widows, you are testing Dell Vs Apple

I think you missed an extremely important point here, which is upgradability.
I replaced the battery on my 5 year old Dell XPS 15, and it is basically all new.
If you are someone who likes some tinkering, you can also upgrade the ram, ssd, wifi card, do repasting and undervolting.
I did all that in addition to switching to a linux operating system, and my laptop is performing much better than a new/stock laptop.

Edit: Some have pointed out that you can also upgrade on a MacBook, and you are absolutely right!
Though for my XPS 15 and other Windows laptops, switching batteries is very simple and I paid about 60€ for a 97Wh battery.

Another point is also that you can set the charging limit to say 75% which preserves its life expectancy even more. I am not sure if it is possible on a Mac though..

At the end of the day I think both laptops are amazing, it just depends on what you value more :)

I stick with Windows, I like to customize my laptop my way and it has never let me down. The only thing that sometimes causes me problems is the product key, does anyone know where I can get one? I'm tired of using the google spreadsheet.
