Agree that pre Apple Silicon, macOS didn't get much focus. Fair point historically.

That's a really strange claim given AS was a refinement of a technology other manufacturers have yet to surpass in the ten years since the T1 chip came out.

To this day nobody else ties their SMC, biometric auth, and HSM together as tightly and well as the T1 did. AS was further advancement of that.

Furthermore, Apple protects users against the legal changes that have allowed law enforcement to physically force someone to provide biometric credentials. By default MS just provides biometric auth to make it easier to log in to your system.
