Quick summary
People who like and enjoy using computers use OSX on a Mac e.g. I enjoy spreadsheets etc. and keep the Macs and devices updated and backed up.
People who don't enjoy using computers and find using them stressful prefer the simpler iPads running iOS.
For many an iPad is all the computer they want or need.

For me, it depends on the task at hand. I use a Mac mini as my desktop machine, mostly for office work. I use an iPad mini for reading books, and documents, and the occasional video from iTunes. I use an iPhone 6s for communications when out of the house (email, sms, IRC, etc.). I like to stick with Apple products for interoperability - Handoff ROCKS!
