The egregious macOS bug will be fixed shortly. AFAIK it's only happening in some of the big upgrades released in the last few months. Shockingly bad for a company with Apple's resources, but how many people are affected and for how long? Just the people who upgraded promptly or bought a new device? It's an indictment of Apple but most people intentionally don't upgrade promptly (because it's a hassle, or they know to wait for the bugs to be ironed out). It's an _extremely_ effective mitigation strategy to just not do big upgrades until they've been out for about 6 months. For the type of OS that macOS is, that's an extremely low cost strategy. If as a hypothetical we imagine macOS and Linux have the same number of "regular" users who upgrade after a few months, and "lemming" users who upgrade ASAP (directly, or indirectly by buying a new product that only comes with the new version), and we look at the number of people affected by crappiness in each crappy product, it's basically just "lemming" users for macOS, and all users for Linux. There's no strategic fix for Linux. This has nothing to do with open source vs commercial software. Most software from both camps is just really crappy from an end-user perspective, and culturally, both camps are largely getting worse with time at about the same rate. I disagree that Linux is any kind of oasis in the desert of crappy software. We have to ask the same "why do we put up with this?" questions of Linux as well.
