Missing sub-pixel antialiasing is plain technical deficiency, not a stylistic choice. I agree arguments can be had about hinting and aligning the glyphs to the pixel grid, but not much beyond that.

Have to use a terminal command to enable it: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/337871 https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/337871 In general with a HiDPI screen I don't find any need for it. But on a low-res display like the typical 24" 1080P models it certainly helps.
