Audio Software (and firmware) developers are really not the benchmark for this. They always lag behind, exploit hidden / unsupported features and never manage to play by the rules of the platform they are on. All this is enabled by the music gear community which blindly accepts a 2k synth (e.g. Moog Matriarch or Novation Summit) to be riddled with bugs one year after release or companies like NI or Elektron to always be 6 months late with compatibility for new Mac OS releases (first Catalina, now Big Sur), shifting blame on Apple. It's Apple's platform - they signal changes well in advance. As a developer you either support it and play by the rules or move off it. NI hasn't even managed to update their UI to the high DPI / Retina world in many cases.

No offense, but why should the software developers just pour money and resources into maintaining ever changing OS requirements and hop through Apple loops for no visible customer benefit (e.g., better and additional capabilities)? Why do software developers have to spend money because Apple keeps changing the stuff constantly? UX retina are non-trivial changes. In the case of Qt, I recall that this meant changing the version this dropping other OS versions that were previously supported unless you duplicate all development effort. Apple has NO incentive to not keep changing everything and breaking stuff thus forcing people to constantly upgrade and buy new hardware. For me, there weren’t any material changes in the OS I was happy and started using.
