Your points are all valid, but I will point out homebrew not working isn’t really an apple issue. Also this isn’t quite same level as X or drivers not working.

- zdragnar 4y agoWhen comparing Linux to Apple's laptops, homebrew is the defacto package manager. The Apple store is pretty much GUI applications or tools, and I'm not putting my personal credit card info into a machine I don't own, so I never bother seeing up the app store anyway. The primary package manager sucking is a very serious flaw for Apple when trying to get developers to convert from Linux. FWIW, I personally don't ever recall an upgrade causing X or drivers to stop working, though I've been going through laptops at a rate of one every two or three years lately. On the other hand, windows and Mac upgrades have certainly caused issues, and misbehaving applications can certainly cause issues on macs (cough teams cough).
