And your point is? I've already acknowledged that. I'm pointing out that a disappointment for their individual situation doesn't indicate that the update is a failure nor does it warrant what they've written.
It is a problem for them, and they express it. What do you think is wrong with that? Not being able to run 32-bit applications is a deal-breaker for many people. The update is a failure for them for this or many other reasons. It might not affect you, and that is fine, but it does affect other people and it is a perfectly valid concern that they could voice. Why are you so against them voicing their problems with the update? Who are you to be the judge of what warrants and does not warrant any articles? Ultimately your opinion on whether it warrants an article or a comment does not matter, thank goodness. What if I told you that you being fine with the update does not warrant a comment? Whatever your answer is, please repeat the same thing to yourself because it seems like you have a strong dislike towards the act of voicing valid issues with the update. I would dare to say it reeks of fanpersonism.
>it does affect other people and it is a perfectly valid concern
It most certainly does not affect them if they don't choose to update. That's exactly my issue with this whole thread. You're all straw-manning my response as if my complaint is with the person's desire to write an article about their opinion. That's not my issue. My issue is with the fact that their complaint doesn't line up with the statements they've made in the article and the fact that they're treating an optional update as some kind of requirement that points to a fault in the OS.
And, frankly, I think your statement about reeking of "fanpersonism" is unfair considering that the only time the site in question has ever posted to HN is to complain about Apple and/or their products. That, to me, is fanpersonism.
What's your point? For someone who's entire argument is just to accuse people of being whiny and entitled, you're being particularly whiny and entitled when it comes to other people having different opinions than you.
Where am I being whiny and entitled in any of my responses? I have no issue at all with people having different opinions. My issue is when their complaints don't line up with what they're saying. Namely, that their choice in preference is a failure with Catalina rather than simply something that doesn't fit their need. That distinction doesn't make Catalina a failure or controversial.
