That's more on Microsoft's sudden shift to enshittification as a business model rather than making good software.

Apple has is actually enshittifying too (dumb UI changes, worse apps - see "Catalyst", etc), it's just that Microsoft has became a trailblazer in that field so Apple still feels good in comparison, despite the many downgrades.



Yep, Mac OS is sadly the least shitty option we can get for desktops. Don't call it the best, because there is no good option.


Meanwhile, Wall Street and normies call Satya Nadella a genius and will be shocked in 5 to 10 years when their tabloid news operation/tech company starts looking more like IBM.


Pedant: Enshittification means something different, involving a company making one group’s experience worse so they can extract more money from another. It’s not “just” making a product worse.
