Another drawback is that support for hardware peripherals is behind that of Windows, macOS, and even ChromeOS.

MacOS and ChromeOS? I doubt this, especially ChromeOS is using the Linux kernel, it should literally have all the same drivers

Well this was a useless article. Basically some descriptions and referral links.

The “Pros and cons” section for Windows doesn’t list a single negative. Really? They couldn’t think of anything bad that’s happened with the OS recently?

MacOS wins the peripheral war after providing the argument “dongles are technically peripherals”. They might also count things like their monitor stand as a peripheral because a mac user from one of their own commercials once said, and I quote, “what’s a computer?”

Sounds like this article was more based on contributions from “marketing departments” than “journalists” or “anyone you should take tech advice from”, though to be fair I haven’t read it yet and am only going by comments and observations of the current state of “tech journalism”.
