As much as I disliked Steve Jobs, the man was 100% correct when he talked about companies rotting from the inside. They get taken over by sales & marketing types and the product designers and user experience experts get kicked to the curb.
In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that’s only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth’s inner core.
Apple has always been about locking down the system and forcing the user to do things the way Apple wants. Not only within one device, but also in locking down inter-device protocols and removing standard ones, as well as obfuscating information about the hardware, not letting the users make an informed decision. And that’s already after the fact that you aren’t legally allowed to use the system on non-Apple hardware.

Apple being the pinnacle of this. They were the first ones that made devices theirs, not yours.
Yeah, exactly. I find the shilling for MacOS a bit concerning, already from the article and also the comments.
A Mac feels more like yours than Windows? Just goes to shows how shitty Windows has become, not how MacOS is better.

Respecting the user? Lol
Do you understand what “comparing” means?
