I'll admit I have unrealistic expectations. My favorite retro OSes are Apple's minimalist takes, and modern MacOS is the opposite of that. I bought my first Mac ~a decade ago because I expected MacOS to lead the fight against Electron apps and cruddy software, but... here we are. Now your Settings app is a WebView and all your important software is Electron because Apple refused industry inroads. There's a glimmer of hope for an "ideal" version of MacOS that cuts away the marketing cruft, trusts the user more and uses less ancient internals. It's just not what Apple is known for though, so I moved on.
