Apple treating MacOS as if it's a mobile OS.

People don't use their macs like they use their iphones. People do actual, real work using actual, real software on their macs. If their plan is to turn MacOS into a locked-down kiddy pool of an OS like ipadOS then I'm out and I'd imagine many others would be too.

Absolutely inane decision made by people that have no idea how people actually use their products.

As of last year for the first time ever I have only a Mac and no pc. I use it for work, I use it for personal, I use it for gaming. If this is the route they are taking I am very disappointed in my purchase.

I've said it before, this is exactly what I think they're trying to do. They've already neutered root a lot and will continue until it's completely useless, made it harder to install non- MacOS App store software, soldered everything down and switched to custom silicon to make it harder to install other OSs.

All in the name of ~~un-repairability and lock-in~~ "performance and security". They're doing it bit by bit to normalize a computer not really being a computer.
