I want to ask a question in good faith to macOS users recommending people to download (and a lot of times pay for!) 3rd party tools to improve userspace functionality on macOS: Why is this the norm? Downloading a 3rd party tool is one thing (I wouldn't have a huge problem if it was open source), but a lot of times these tools are closed source and require you to pay out of pocket! This would never ever fly in the Linux community. How come this is commonly accepted and never challenged? (A controversial viewpoint I thought about is maybe that macOS users on average make more money than Linux users and hence never think about this, but I don't want to put it forward as the definitive answer) EDIT: Perfect example I thought of is my friend asking me for help on how to reconfigure deep click (or Force Touch as it's called) to open new tabs in his browser, and I had a look around and the recommended way is to pay for BetterTouchTool [1]. No free way to do this that I could find. [1]: https://folivora.ai/ https://folivora.ai/
