Broken down, the article really only talks about two different things:
- iTunes updates that either stopped 3rd parties from accessing the iTunes Music Store, or only allowed iTunes libraries running current DRM versions to play DRMed music.
- A single quicktime update (7.4) that broke export functionality of AfterEffects. This was fixed in the very next update (7.4.1 [1]).
Using these two (three if you count iTunes as two) examples under the headline "Mac OS X mistakes and malfeatures" is disingenuous at best.

- duskwuff 17y ago> - iTunes updates that [...] only allowed iTunes libraries running current DRM versions to play DRMed music. To put a finer point on it, "iTunes updates which modified the store communications protocols and/or keystore format in non-backwards-compatible ways". The purpose of these updates was specifically to disable applications which bypassed DRM restrictions -- which I strongly suspect that Apple is contractually bound to do.
