As someone who had been a Mac user for ~15 years, this is yet another example of news coming from Apple's general direction that makes me feel like Apple has stopped giving much attention to macOS.
Yes. They still work on it. But it feels like it gets table scraps, compared to the attention given iOS, and iOS devices.
It's the thought that runs through my head on learning that this issue had been on a public forum and nothing public from Apple in response.
I ended up switching to Windows 10 for a daily driver. It's been a painful move, the workflow (so far) isn't nearly as smooth.
I'm sad. I used to dismiss others who would opine and say Apple feels like it's on a quality decline. Unfortunately, I'm starting to agree with them.
Success may not the best teacher, it seems.
