One thing I've noticed with the latest macOS and iOS releases is that I find macOS is being dumbed down while iOS has become incredibly complicated.
I can still do what I want in macOS, some things are just unnecessarily difficult to find, like Internet Sharing. I was only able to find it by searching for "Sharing". Staying with internet sharing, the interface for it is bonkers, you have to click a tiny gray (!) logo to configure it. That seems like someone ran out of space and just made something up, without the oversight of a designer.
While Apple seems hellbent on making macOS dumber, they've have no second thoughts about making iOS insanely complicated to use. Settings are all over the place, I frequently miss notification, because apparently I did something that disables them in some scenarios, no idea what that might be. There are so many features in iOS and very little is done to surface them or make them intuitive to use. I feel like they could yank 80% of iOS and I'd still have a workable phone.
Apple needs to take a break and reevaluate their design decisions for both operating systems, but neither is evolving in the right direction.
