I wish they’d just stop with the yearly major releases.
Unlike the iPhone, there’s no magic date in September when all the year’s new Macs drop and require support for all the new hardware capabilities. Sure, there are changes to system apps on iOS like Notes that want feature parity on the Mac, but you could do those in a point release. Or even better, decouple those apps from the OS and update them individually via the App Store.
They clearly don’t have enough resources allocated to macOS anymore to have a big yearly release without spending the next n months fixings problems. Just release the damn thing when it’s actually ready. They didn’t do yearly releases when the Mac was still their major focus, I don’t see why they need to today.

Naturally you need to be able to view your stereoscopic 3d videos on your Macbook, or something.
