It must be exhausting and stressful being an OS dev or dev team. I haven't experienced any of the troubles that are referenced here; and, the one complaint I've had over the years was resolved, like, on the very next update.

I use my mac for IntelliJ and Firefox. I guess maybe my usage surface is just really, really small; but I basically never have any problems ... and then others come along and say they're having huge issues.

I see the various updates as they happen and like ... all of them are neutral or minor inconveniences that are resolved next patch, for me.

Must it?

Very few of these complaints existed when Apple had a more reasonable update schedule for the Mac releasing a new update every 2 years or so.

The Mac’s current update schedule isn’t being driven by the needs of the OS or its customers but by the need to align with iOS.
