It's infuriating. I had to sell my 2017 MBP and buy a 2018 model because I wasn't in a situation where I could afford to be without a machine for a week or more. Otherwise I'd still be happily using the original machine. I was once a big evangelist for Apple laptops. Now I tell people to get something else unless they're absolutely tied to macOS. I'll definitely be taking a very hard look at other, non Apple options when this guy gives up the ghost.
