No sarcasm needed. My first Mac is an M1, and I've only seen the beachball when badly-behaved programs crash, never for waiting for something.

  As a non-mac user I originally didn't even know the beachball was indicating "waiting" and not actually "it crashed". Just from my coworkers grumbling.

    It makes more sense that it's 'waiting for access' when you know it was historically supposed to represent a spinning CD.
