> What ways has this actually impacted you?
None of Apple's mistakes have impacted me because I refuse to purchase broken hardware powering a walled garden.
> are these apps that have had any active developer attention in years?
I've got apps I run in PCem because Dosbox won't cut it. Why should I stop using software I prefer simply because someone has made something similar, wrapped in electron, running atop a hideous tower of dependencies and bloat? Hilariously, emulating a 90s PC running FreeDOS takes less memory and CPU than utilizing some modern alternatives.
> Do you mean quality control coming out of their factory? That their defect rates have gone up? Or do you mean their products are being poorly designed?
Backlight failures are both design and factory quality. The app lockout was software quality and design. The keyboard was design.
