The success of an operating system lies in the applications. The more you have, the more likely it is that people will use it. In this sense, macOS is well covered. On Apple Mac computers there is a very extensive catalog of apps available, both in the Mac App Store and on the websites of the developers. However, that does not mean that all needs are covered.
