Hence the argument that the mac os is a less than desirable starting point to your browsing experience than most peoples concept of Windows, which allows for more easily configured applications such as a bootable tails or Whonix os. Long story short, who do you feel is the most likely to hand over your data/information to authorities? In the three products you listed most people would say Apple>VPN>Tor. It's a much easier proposition to track down 500 users of a VPN service than the 5000 people connected to an ISP. What would be easier to identify, the exact number of people connected to a particular VPN service at a particular time or the exact number of people connected to your ISP at a particular time? Next step, identifying those people. Most VPN services use a particular set of entry and exit gate structures that allow for timing/correlation attacks to be easier to identify. Does a VPN actually help Tor function better or more securely? No, it doesn't. Would a Vpn help mask your usage of Tor to your ISP? Yes, it will.

Take that in combination with the fact that the mac os is readily hackable and easily manipulated and you end up with a questionable base to arguments. Apple has a pretty reliable history of being less than consumer friendly when it comes to data sharing and consumer privacy. My guess would revolve around the fact that the mac os is owned by apple.
