Seems pretty clear that this is just a rant written after a frustrating experience.

The thing is that Apple isn't "decaying" so much as it's changing focus. It has been very clear for a long while that they are now shifting toward more casual users and away from the things we on HN might prefer. Opening windows on reboot, as this guy complains about, is a pretty compelling feature for a novice user who just wants to get back to what they were doing.

And anyway, on modern macs with an ssd this isn't much of an issue.
