I think generally their mantra is to choose sensible (though that's debatable) defaults, and minimise the ability to configure at all. Of course, that drives some people insane, and even if you generally like it, you're totally stuck if they make a choice you don't like. Same goes for hardware -- I really like macOS, but if Apple started, oh I don't know, releasing laptops with non-functional keyboards, I have nowhere else to go. I get more frustrated by the lack of communication of activity/failure states though. So much of their software on both iOS and macOS will give you nothing more than a spinner to indicate activity, then if something goes wrong will just...fail silently. Even informing the user that something failed is despairingly rare.
