Oh, I was agreeing with you. My 2015 iMac died two weeks ago. Pretty sure it's the SSD I installed when I first got it. And while most of my files are in cloud storage, I also had a series of chained external drives running Time Machine. Guess what? I can't use any apple tools to grab any files because different file system type between that machine and my M1 MB Pro (permissions issues).
I'm going to have to clone the drive, then use terminal to chmod the /usr dirs to extract the files I want (mostly personal music production).
I immediately ordered a Mac mini, but since I didn't want a 256GB drive and 16GB RAM, I'm still waiting for it to arrive from China.
Also, the M1 MB Pro was the most expensive* and worst computer I have ever owned. I wish I had just bought an air. No tactile volume controls. As a musician that is the worst.
(*company I worked for a while in school paid $12k for a Mac 2 FX. Lol.)
