Because, despite our happinesses with what we use
I think that some Mac users believe it's readily possible that a great number of Windows users will suddenly switch to the Mac platform with little to no discussion of the pros and cons of such a switch, that it is utterly seamless yet the best thing since slice bread. It may be, but it seems that an attitude comes along with such knowledge sharing, almost a contempt. If the impression is that Mac users consider themselves superior to Windows users, then the sale is even harder to ring up. It may even have some wondering if their Mac friends are malicious towards them, in words or actions. Sometimes, it may also feel like getting those particular visitors at the door performing conversions of a religious sort, despite the contentment of the household, we're going to he'' for not subscribing to another's point of view.

It's complicated, not fair to and on either side, and with time, only getting better slightly. IMO.
