> all previous macOS updates My experience is this is true of recent updates, but I don't think the data would support such a sweeping statement beyond that. I remember the dustup around this in 2015/2016 after comments by Marco Arment: https://marco.org/2015/01/04/apple-lost-functional-high-ground https://marco.org/2015/01/04/apple-lost-functional-high-grou... https://marco.org/2015/01/05/popular-for-a-day https://marco.org/2015/01/05/popular-for-a-day I haven't listened to the interview that Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi did with Gruber since it aired, but my recollection is that they said that they actually measure these things and there had been FAR fewer bugs over years (from that date) and that we've simply come to expect less buggy software as a result. Or at least that's my years-old recollection, I could be wrong. And so I think what's likely is that this version is worse than recent versions, but if you compare to, say, 10 years ago it's less buggy. Kind of like what people experience when we have increases in the crime rate -- far better than it used to be, even if people don't recognize it, but (1) still an increase, and (2) we should expect progress, not things getting worse! https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2016/02/12/ep-146 https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2016/02/12/ep-146 (I could be wrong and maybe it was a different interview) Anyway, there was a ton of chatter here and everywhere else in the tech community around that time. Here's a quick example at the time (but I imagine there are dozens of others, if not hundreds): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11034071 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11034071
