IIRC each release had its controversies. Maybe not Mountain Lion but I seem to recall wireless issues and MDNS responder (or whatever the acronym was).

  But so did Snow Leopard! It literally erased people's hard drives! I do not think High Sierra is as good as Snow Leopard—if I did, I'd be typing this on High Sierra instead of Mavericks. But High Sierra was a stability release.

    Oh wow! I had no idea it erased drives. All right, I stand corrected. Still, macOS could stand to have a stability release now. We have the cool redesign, make it stable.

      If curious: https://9to5mac.com/2009/10/12/apple-aware-of-rare-snow-leopard-data-threatening-bug-plans-patch/ https://9to5mac.com/2009/10/12/apple-aware-of-rare-snow-leop... I was borderline shocked we didn't get a "Sunny Catalina" release, after all the problems it had. I guess Apple was too deep into macOS 11 changes to switch course.

        Thanks for the link, what a weird bug. Big same re Catalina.

    I’m pretty sure erasing hard drives was a risk with every OSX release until recently and wasn’t specific to Snow Leopard. Edit: To be clear, I don’t mean that every OSX release had this particular bug. But nearly every OSX release usually had at least 1 “you’ve lost all your data and your system is unusable” type of bug when updating.
