The apples narrative is fine but what do you do if you can't compare SQL server to anything else because it only supports Microsoft?
So just because you can't compare the two on Linux means that SQL server will always be better because it is only for Microsoft?

This is a very valid comparison because it compares a SOLUTION and not a DB.
The bottom line is the time experienced by the user hitting you DB. That is what must be compared.
