Good for you. You probably happen to use your Macs in a way you don't hit those bugs, and didn't have to deal with faulty hardware. I'm sure things are flawless most of the time too.
My computers also go to sleep reliably. They are professional hardware, of good quality, and from different brands. I'm sure other models of other brands or of the same brands have quirks, or that there are people who have problems with the same hardware/software as mine because they use it differently.
Maybe it's not that much a Mac vs the rest of the world thing. Evidence is that people have problems with any kind of hardware and brands, this is indisputable.

I've owned an XPS 15 and a 2015 MBP. Had this issue with sleep as well as the funky multi-monitor with distinct DPIs issues off the bat with the XPS, never had any of these problems with the MBP.
