    Who's to say whether Apple falls into the "almost" part of "almost universally bad at making software"? Why is it reasonable to apply industry-wide averages to a company as exceptional as Apple?

    Well, in your first reply you state boldly that > Since very many other people have vastly different experiences, we can conclude that the author is either very lucky, or that the author does encounter problems, but forget them immediately or don’t consider them “problems”. I.e. that the author has confirmation bias. Now you say that "hardware companies are almost universally bad at making software, and this should also apply to Apple". Who's biased now? Considering my experience with myriad of Apple devices, Android, Linux, Windows and whatever tens and tens of gadgets I owned, I could oppose that although most hardware companies are supposed to be bad at making software, this seems not influencing Apple. We are all biased to some extent and this should come as no surprise.
