Yeah that’s just not true. We run fleets, 10000s of users in virtual machines. From standard, optimized base images. I can tell you from experience that issues stay well in known boundaries. I can tell which users will have issues and with what, by just looking at their installed applications. Where things begin to fall off, users that want to be admins, developers that deploy random stuff. Power users in general are the cause of their own problems. Developers sharp or not don’t always know how to run their own laptop. More often than not they are the cause of their problems. There are some terrible applications out in the world. Creative cloud I’m looking at you. Or I found this great application called Figma let me paste raw 500mb pictures & pdfs into it and watch it eat my machine alive. Laptop & desktop hardware, Apple included, still has a huge randomness factor.
