> QoS is a control set and changed in the code launching a process, and can only be altered by the user if the app exposes a control, a feature which remains exceptionally uncommon. Neither is there any easy way for a user to know the QoS of any given process unless the app reveals that.

That... sucks

Does it? I buy my MacBook to use it, not manage process performance. When I launch a game, I get a popup that tells me that it will be prioritized while it is fullscreen. And there's a menu icon to turn off "game mode". Ok, fine, but I don't really care and I doubt I'll ever touch the setting.

It's there to be exposed if the developer thinks it should. That seems like the right balance to me.
