Some things are better than they've ever been, so there's some amount of rose-tinted glasses.
The thing is, I've been aware of the power of MacOS and especially Windows to alter my computing environment against my wishes under the threat of not being patched for a while, and it's something nobody else seems to care about even when I pointed it out.
As much as things are better on all operating systems (drivers aren't really a problem anymore, for example, and chargers are practically universal, and battery-life is glorious!)- there are things that are really shitty, and we ignore the solved problems. I'm now also feeling a huge amount of catharsis.

Whyis quality dropping like this between Windows and macOS? Is this asking this even just rose-tinted glasses on the past?

Linux, however, has genuinely never been better.
There's no business reason to keep the quality high. As long as the happy path works it's grand.
