Why do you think it is easier for apple to proivde compatibility between hardware and the operating system than it is for microsolft or Linux?
Microsoft and Linux must contend with a wide range of peripherals. They must also try to support older peripherals as they release new versions of their software. Apple releases software that is purposely designed to work with only a few of the most popular peripherals. They make the specs available to the manufactures who then make peripherals that will work properly with the Apple computer. It is easier to make products that are focused on a specific market segment than to make a variety of products designed to work on a variety of computers. Manufacturers who make products for Apple computers can put an Apple icon on them and the customer will be assured that it will work. Putting a Windows icon on a product will not assure anyone that it will work on their specific set-up.
