A lot of changes to macOS over the years have mostly been just additions, and to be honest I haven't really taken advantage of any of those. But
at it's core, macOS is still an OS for power-users with awesome shortcuts and my beloved hot-corners among other stuff; so I don't mind.
I'm still on Catalina, because for the first time I'm not that happy about a macOS redesign with the heavy iOS influence, but at some point I'm sure I'll update (maybe when the support stops next year).
What I'm more concerned about is that macOS gets increasingly locked down for everything that has not been graciously signed by Apple. I feel like what's an inconvenience now could just be impossible in a couple of versions.

There was also that incident where network filtering through the new API in Big Sur was not applied to Apple owned apps and thus any attempt to block traffic from these apps failed. Very inconvenient for people on limited bandwidth connections and posed a security threat by exposing a way for apps to bypass app firewalls. Of course this was eventually fixed but only after many people (including myself) complained. Additionally since I have an Intel Mac, I feel like it wouldn’t be taking advantage of the M1 optimizations. I am not using any of the new iOS-like features as well, so I truly have nothing to gain. Once they stop releasing security patches, I’ll reluctantly upgrade to whatever OS is available at the time.
