just like pentalobe screws! i'm not going to argue it's a bad thing, i actually really like macs and think they hide a lot of details making time and space for other pursuits, although since you cede user serviceability it's important to purchase a service plan and that you don't try anything that wasn't provided for in the design. maybe simple composable parts are past their prime. i always loved the simplicity of inetd. it was both self describing and inclusive. you could write an internet service without any knowledge at all of sockets and learn about the system by simply looking at it. but i suppose that's given way to large monolithic daemons these days. personally though, i always thought the simplicity and the composability of unix philosophy was what bred systems that outperformed their competition in terms of security and extensibility. so many commercial systems reflected apparent power grabs within the corporate structures that produced them... i suppose that when you see foss monoliths like this, it's the same game playing out on a different field.
