It seems all of the engineering resources are going towards iOS and macOS is only an afterthought, a device necessary for making iOS apps... I'll be moving on w

  the "rejigging" of mac ui to look like ios in big sur sure makes me feel like that is so... i have a lot of apps in my applications folder crossed out with a / mark because they are 32-bit... its kind of strange to me that if i "downgraded" to mojave they all start working again... isnt that weird? seems almost the opposite of "customer centric"...

  FWIW, when I upgraded my parents operating system for their iPhone, it bricked the phone and I had to take it to the Apple store to get them to get it to stop freezing after attempting to boot the system following the upgrade. The Apple tech told me that next time I want to upgrade multiple versions, that I should install fresh instead of upgrading.

  They’re doing lots and lots of engineering on macOS - APFS, read only system partition, app sandboxing with user file protection, app notarization, catalyst, SwiftUI, Big Sur native iOS app support, the whole Big Sur redesign, custom T2 controller, ARM Macs. The problem seems rather like they are making too many deep system changes without any bug fix time to let them settle.

    Exactly this. There's no breathing time or a tick-tock cycle for large changes to settle down. The last proper one being High Sierra. Three years of consecutive large scale underlying changes are taking a toll on the overall polish and stability of macOS
