NTFS support for MacOS

Hi


I've searched all the internet!
Just found some open source libraries like NTFS-3G, Mounty, ...
and some commercial tools for supporting NTFS like Paragon NTFS ,...


But all of them have bugs!


I'm very "disappointed" to use MacOS! and I'll switch back to Microsoft Surface as a Windows user!
All the Apple leaders are thinking wrong about the customer experience!!!!
Limiting the user (non-NTFS support or few USB ports, etc.) is not a way to force him/her using the device or software!
I'll migrate to Microsoft Surface and Windows!
You Apple! should care about your products and customer satisfaction!



Unless MacOS bring built-in this functionality for it.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

microsoft charge royalties for writing to ntfs which is likely why macOS don't have it

there are a wide range of other filesystems they also don't support
