I expect Apple would either switch entirely, or not. But fracturing the desktop doesn’t seem like something they’d do. ARM would have to be the clear path forward.
Mostly I don't have the feeling they want to invest more into MacOS. I feel they would much rather push everyone into iOS, a locked down platform where they have full control on what people can do or not and monetize every single step (whether that is realistic or not).
That's how light bulbs actually worked way back when. And now you have practically light bulbs that live for 10+ years and are 10 times more energy efficient.
Remember when you had to reinstall windows XP every few months? Yeah, i haven't reinstalled my windows since windows 8 came out. I've done upgrade to 8.1, 10, 10 CU without re-installation or "refresh".
Your analogy is pretty hilarious when you realize old light bulbs last WAY longer because they're not as bright and there are old bulbs over 100 years old still glowing.

Even with Vidta and 7 I never had to reinstall my OS. I had the same Windowd 7 install from 2012 till 2015 ~ and I think I stopped because I wanted to use Linux from then on instead.
Is that because Windows is better, or you're just better at dealing with it?
XPs big problem was IE and malware infections, other than that it was as reliable as any current version of Windows today. Once you have to manage 3500 PCs and you see the same stupid issues coming up over and over, you realize it's not really any better. Computer stores may not be as busy cleaning malware from desktops and laptops, but my team is every bit as busy cleaning up bad updates, fixing BSODs and trying to find documentation that doesn't exist for whatever feature was released last week.
First time Microsoft seems to be more focused than Apple (which works on semi-innovations like touchbars).
