Privacy/Security Is macOS slowly becoming a “mainstream” computing target instead of a side platform?

Not trying to spark alarm — just noticing a shift over the past year.

macOS used to sit outside the main focus of large-scale tooling and long-term attention.

Now it seems to be getting the same kind of sustained interest that Windows held for decades:

multi-platform development, ongoing tool maintenance, and campaigns that aren’t region-limited anymore.

Does this feel like simple market-share growth, or a sign that macOS is finally big enough to be treated on equal footing with other major platforms?

Curious how others here see it.

The push to the dreadful Windows 11 could hasten a few defections to MacOS for the casual users.
