That's because you don't pay and the Cascade of attention deficient teenagers doesn't care about fixing bugs. If you paid you'd get service and you wouldn't be the product.

Oh wait it's 2020, sorry, that's not playing anymore. What's this year's RDF spin?




But you do pay! Apple hardware is famous for that!

(I expect the problem is that you mainly pay for the hardware, not so much the software. At some Apple found out that if the hardware is nice enough, the software can be a bit shit, and people won't mind.)


This is said the other way around at least as often. As in: the high price of Apple Hardware is only worth it because it's a requirement to get MacOS.

And I'm willing to admit that there have been more annoyances in the OS. But having recently tried Windows and Linux again for the first time in over a decade, I can report that nothing much has changed in their relative standings. Just the Windows Activation process alone is a crime against customers. System settings/Utilities/etc are some abomination of cruft accumulated over decades, in a conglomerate of interfaces that seem to try to emulate websites, and sometimes actually are websites that somehow make changes to your system.


I'm actually really happy that this needled the incessant apple boosters around here. You love a company that literally refuses to fix bugs. You pay for that. Sometimes trolling has a point - Pin for the reality distortion field bubble.
