You apparently didn't read the article properly. The author's major grouse is how he recognized slowly that Apple is very controlling about the user experience on its devices and how this is a huge limitation to do anything else "outside" of Apple's "thinking" of how a software or hardware should be used. And how Apple's product manager's have lost sight of what really adds value to the user experience, and their software and hardware choices of new Apple devices are now more dictated by their own greed / ambitions.
From the very examples you cited, the author's emphasis thus was on:
> ... but I am back in control. I am more productive.
> Wired headphones never run out of battery and have superior audio quality ...
> I can take real photos wiht high quality ...
> I have fun again discovering bands and artists on Bandcamp instead of mind numbing listening to Apple Music playlists
> ... but also my OS is way more productive and faster
So it's not just about what you can or cannot do on a Mac, but how the author has found a better way to do all this outside of Apple's limiting ecosystem, keeping in line with his new beliefs that Apple no longer cares about users like him. And I fully agree with him and share the exact feeling (I feel Apple says a "F*k you" to me everytime I want to maximise a Finder or Safari window because the "Apple way" is that you are only supposed to make them fullscreen or vertically maximise ...)
