I bought a new macbook as insurance against a potential supply chain crash and it came with Tahoe :(

On my M2, I have kept it on 15 but Apple aggressively tries to trick me into upgrading in a way that reminds me of Microsoft's behavior with Windows 8/10.

It's not that bad, pop ups every few months.

I just buy older stock or refurbished these days. M1s and M2s are still good enough for me. Recently picked up a refurbished M1 16" because I wanted a larger screen in bed / on the couch for a good price with good condition refurbished from amazon.

Oh no, it got bad for a while until they received lots of backlash. They literally changed verbiage and tried forcing an update at least once unless you read very carefully in between the lines. They directly and intentionally employed sleight of hand and psychological manipulation to try and force an update in order to meet some misguided OKRs.
