Absolutely my experience too. Every once in a while I give Linux a chance on my personal desktop, only to find it working great.. until it doesn't for whatever reason and I'm left losing minutes to hours figuring out what and how it broke, browsing forums etc etc; usually to great frustration.
I simply cannot afford that kind of nonsense for my work devices. I regularly do and have used macOS for work for the best part of the last two decades and have never, not once, found the system broken or in a state that I needed to fix things after updates. That OS just works. Always. Of course you'll find weird stuff happening in the Apple user forums as well, but in my personal experience Mac OS is rock solid out of the box whereas Linux can be rock solid if you want to invest a lot of time in it. And for work, I cannot.
I don't invest a lot of time into Linux. At home or at work.
Windows at work is such PITA that even colleagues who are not very well with Linux prefer it for anything new.
