While supporting high school kids throughout this pandemic, I quickly learned that a lot of these kids have near zero experience using Windows, OS X or any other "traditional" desktop operating system. Their computers were their iPhones, iPads and Chromebooks.

The strategies behind ChromeOS and iPadOS made a lot more sense after realizing this. Those operating systems aren't made to appeal to the people who have been using desktop PCs their whole lives. Rather, they're designed to appeal to those whose computing experience is pretty much ChromeOS, iPadOS and similar mobile platforms.
