I don’t think that literally anybody is on the other side of the point you’re making. In fact, it is commonplace for other ‘tech companies’ to copy Apple’s marketing aesthetic. This has been the case for well over a decade now. You’re arguing against a fanboy stereotype that has never /really/ existed, and certainly not now, certainly not here. And let’s be honest, Microsoft is absolutely no stranger to releasing updates that break systems. Far far from it.
