Is it? I haven't seen any ads or a requirement to sign in with Microsoft/Apple account in macOS, there's no Pre-installed TikTok nor Angry Birds returning on every update and I haven't seen Apple discontinuing support for 6 years old computers.

It might be restrictive in all the ways I don't care about, but oh well.

You mean the way macOS Ventura is only for their hardware released in the last six years? [1]

Apple’s absolutely do discontinue support for older hardware all the time when they release new macOS and iOS versions.

You can keep running the older operating system but it will stop receiving updates. It doesn’t seem hugely different to having to stay on Windows 10 instead of Windows 11.
