You can use Quick Actions (formerly Services) to trigger Mac automations, with customized Keyboard Shortcuts and text input replacements but it’s all scattered across a dozen apps and it’s kind of clunky to piece a workflow together from all these parts. But if you know the ins and outs, there’s a lot you can accomplish from a Mac, particularly as macOS has historically had better app support for AppleScript and somewhat better accessibility tooling. http://www.macosxautomation.com/automator/services/extensions.html http://www.macosxautomation.com/automator/services/extension... Recent attempts to lock down the system point to how it’s “not the default” to customize your Mac outside the App Store. And I find the share sheet is still more useful on iOS than on macOS (for now?) just as Finder is more useful on macOS than Files app is on iOS. That said, Windows Terminal and WSL highlight that Microsoft isn’t slowing down here and Apple might actually need to play catch-up at some point and evaluate new approaches to developer and power user pain points. (AppleCare-supported upgradable storage is on my wish list but that’s not technically the software’s fault... just a policy Apple used to have and then later removed from their website as they moved to proprietary SSD controllers)
