Comment on Same. Leaving Apple Hardwareparent

Comments

Really it depends on perspective. The #1 reason I left MacOS after Mojave was the fact that none of the APIs I deployed to were naively available anymore. I had to buy a new computer to get updates for the same software I used before. I waited for Apple to reverse their stance, but it never happened.

It's entirely feasible that most people don't encounter the breakage or even notice it. Developers do though, and the breakage on MacOS is legitimately unprecedented. It's the most prominent example of API decay I've seen in a long time.
