Maybe it's making fun of windows users who go through a 3-100 step install wizard?

It's not making fun of Macs, which IMO has the slickest installs of just dragging.

I'd rather click a button that installed everything to the right place than relying on myself to drag a single thing to a specific folder. Opening a folder first and having to drag is... a drag. That's my opinion.

Installing on a Mac looks like this.

  1. Click on the app package you downloaded
  2. Then verify that you do want to install it by dragging it

Imo it's very intuitive, clean and clever. No wrong way to do it.

Once you know, it is easy. But this random popup with 0 explanation, besides an arrow, is not intuitive at all. In general I like my MacBook Air but I hate MacOS and if it wasn’t apple silicon itd be running linux. Once Asahi or something similar deals with growing pains, it will 100% be doing so.

UI design of apple truly amazes me. Did Jobs really worked on the design as well
