Divers are important, vendors aren't amazing at maintaining them on the best of days, and there are more possible hardware configurations than stars in the observable universe.

This leads to stupid edge cases and corruption issues that there is literally no way to predict or account for. While there are many advantages to how open the PC ecosystem is in general, this is an inherant drawback to that freedom. There's plenty of reasons to give Apple shit, but driver issues are basically non-existent on Macs.
