I don't mind Apple's prices - but I do mind the quality of their hardware. And to me it's a major put-off nowadays.
So you're an Apple hater
and a Microsoft hater, a Google guy it seems.
No wonder you can't be objective.
I'm an SVP for a company of 1000s that uses Windows exclusively, and these OS wars have never been my thing, never will be. So long as 90% of the world uses Windows my company will use Windows and so will I. Windows 10 is very good, I have no issues with it on my Macbook.
Back to the OP, the reason for an "ultrabook" is to gain a slimmer/lighter form factor with great battery life and the new 12" Retina is a great choice if shedding pounds and thickness matters to you.
