MS doesn't have any self respect and any respect for its users. Luckily there is Apple which side with the user in these kind of matters.

  Ah, yeah Apple and mice. The operating system where the shoulder buttons of my old but perfectly fine Logitech MX518 don't work and I have to jump through hoops to get them to simply make them take me back in a browser. Truly a masterpiece of engineering. /s Apple's drivers for basic input devices are extremely bad. I couldn't believe it when I was first using a Mac. You need vendor drivers for everything.

    Oh yeah, Apple is to be faulted for many things, including monopolistic behaviour, poor support for "alternative" ways of using their devices etc. But at least they don't ship an OS with ads, data tracking and other shenanigans like MS does. MS in the past never held their products to a high standard of quality. Apple's success forced them to consider that aspect, but they are still far away from being able to compete on that front.

    Luckily another part of the traditional Apple ecosystem are well engineered community generated extensions to cover for Apple's lack of advanced options for some functionality: https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/ https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/
