I still think you're making unfair comparisons here. It's more effort to get MacOS installed on unsupported hardware than Windows, but just because it installs doesn't mean it's supported. Just because a few registry hacks can get Windows 11 on an old machine doesn't mean a future windows update won't suddenly break it (I mean they break even supported configurations from time to time). I get what you're saying, Apple do sure go out of their way to prevent it, but even if Windows let you install it, an unsupported configuration is still by definition out of support and it can just stop working at any time without much recourse.
