Updates are included with purchase of maps, speed cameras, and traffic information as well as mobile data 
I find a dedicated navigation device much nicer than actually navigating with a phone. Portable, because when I bought a compact car after a few years that couldn’t update enough, I got really irritated. 
Nowadays, I’m using Apple Maps with FlitsMeister in the background. If I were to use Android, it would probably still be TomTom or at least something that wasn’t Google at all.
In any case, it is actually irrelevant; The point was: I had TomTom, and nothing as simple as updating TomTom from Linux can’t be done. I’m sick of those kinds of jokes. 
(Not a “Linux” bug, of course, but that’s what it is.)
I use a lot of open software because as a developer I support this concept. You have to win with knowledge and support, not with the code itself. I’ve seen a lot of closed programs that are no longer supported and that’s it.
I have a very good heart for the open source community. I use all kinds of open source software myself, contribute to it (even running a non-profit organization that funds and technically supports some FOSS projects) and for servers I don’t use anything else. But for a desktop, it’s really a different story IMHO. You feel sometimes stuck with closed programs that are no longer up to date, I felt stuck in an updated open source program, but simply always had a flaw/solution needed to be able to/keep running or it was really bad compared to the “original”. Nice updates, but a lot of things are delayed, visually not very good and not always stable (*cough* OpenOffice *cough*) and not compatible with each other.
So far, most of the software I’ve bought for macOS is still well supported and the open source stuff I want to use works just fine in macOS, including all the innovative peripheral apps, so I’m totally happy. Pretty much all the open source stuff I use has a Mac port or can be compiled on it. For me, macOS is the absolute compromise that offers the best of both worlds.
macOS is nice, but it’s an ultimate closed system.
I didn’t notice anything. I can install and translate whatever I want and feel much more free than Windows and no less free than Linux.
But hey, each one has their own. You should also use whatever is best for you or closest to your ideological goals. I offer a compromise on that.
