As a long-term mac user, I hope that the transition to ARM and what goes along with it, is largely responsible for what went wrong in recent years. Not only did this transition for sure mean a lot of team reshuffling, additional tasks to do etc. To my understanding, there was a big reorg in the code base itself. iOS began as a fork of macOS (or rather OS X as it was called back then), and over the years, those two codes bases drifted apart. To my understanding, with the move to Apple Silicon, not only macOS was ported to the new architecture, but the code bases got merged again. So the aim is to have one universal core onto which the separate teams can build iOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS and of course macOS. Such a big code refactoring is of course a very big undertaking, causing a lot of disruption. But once it is finished, not only the disruption goes away, but hopefully maintenance is easier and more systematic. If that holds true, then macOS should be improving again moving forward. That all platforms use identical or at least very similar hardware should also help stability.
