Arguably, Apple’s products cost what a product should, considering you’re not subsidising it with info about your life and/or other companies are not subsidising it with their preinstalled shovelware. I have a love/hate relationship with Apple, like I said, some stuff they make is awesome, other things they do less so.
Apple’s main win is sidestepping completely the downward spiral of cutthroat pricing and shrinking margins of PC hardware vendors. Their commitment to privacy is another. Whether they actually are committed to it is another matter, ofc and unverifiable at this point.
No, it really isn't.
They used to. I think recent upgrades are now free of charge once you're in the Apple jail - is that what you're referring to? My point is that you can only buy or indeed use OSX by paying for overpriced Apple hardware. You're also accepting terms that you'll never use it on non-Apple hardware, so you definitely can't suggest that is is, in any sense of the word, "free".
Anyway, all this is really off topic.
Phoronix, eh? Hate it or not, PTS is very useful and his benchmarks have uncovered numerous regressions in Linux over the years. It’s some excellent work he does.

Sure there is an application you can purchase that'll show it up by the clock... Which is where you pay for macOS. The OS comes bundled with the hardware, as mirv stated. But you also have to pay for it because almost every little thing that we're used to getting for free, in fact included standard with most distributions, costs money on the mac.
Hell, when I first got my current job, they handed me a mac. It was the first one I'd actually used more than just 'ooh, pretty animation on the minimize' and then I bought Flavours for it (a theming program, yes you have to pay for themes). Well a few releases later they broke theming. It's just not working anymore. The author of the software had said he was going to make a Flavours2, but it never was released as Apple just doesn't want themes.
Was there a huge uproar like there is with Gnome saying they're going to create a library for the look / feel? Nope, because Daddy Apple knows best! Let me have my Brushed Metal, Daddy Apple!
