The key point with Apple is that they control the hardware as well as the software. iOS and MacOS run on Apple kit, and are useless if you don't have Apple devices. (Running other software on Apple devices might be possible, but not simple.)

Oddly you can run MacOS X x64 on a VMWare virtual machine. Out of the box on a full blown ESX server and with fairly trivial modifications on a VMWare Workstation install. Please note that you will get odd looks when your Lenovo laptop is running MacOS 12.5.1 full screen.

I sympathize, but we aren't anywhere near that point unless you are in something like Apple's walled garden. Safety requires knowledge. Deal with it.)

And sadly, all too many people are incapable of practicing Safe Hex. In IT, you meet all too many people who never met a button they won't click or a file they won't download. Our attempts at corporate phishing training has shown about 25% of our users seem to have trouble learning.
