It's all about the shiny.
I haven't been in the Mac ecosystem for that long (since 2015), but what I've noticed is that Apple, like most software companies, tend to accentuate the new and fancy features.
I would personally love a release that simply fixes/stabilizes/improves old existing issues, with zero new things. Optimally a combination of both, but I'd settle for solidifying the base.
I guess that kind of talk is not popular in the board room.
And I'm far from the target customer, not really using any of Apple's software. I like it as an Ubuntu-like platform where everything is supported.
I don't care about upgrades to their internal tools which I don't use anyways (Mail/Maps/Safari/whatever). But I presume to be a minority as well, so this is just a rant. I've seen zero reason to upgrade to Monterey, just as I have with the previous releases, and only running Big Sur[0] now because I bought an M1 which is fucking awesome.
[0] Which was a huge letdown in terms of various changes that seemed to be changes just for the sake of changes.
