Seriously, if Apple decides an app is too old, then it flat out doesn’t work. No way to prevent updating either unless it is basically without internet.
Linuxians like to complain about not being able to control Windows, but Mac is like a hundred times worse in that regard. Not to mention ads to all those Apple software on there.
This. Been using Windows since 95 and Linux since 2008. Mac is the only thing I tried twice (for two years each) and I just cannot get past this mobile-feeling of not being able to customise basic stuff. Mac GUI is not intuitive for me. It’s good that people that like it can use it. It’s bad that I don’t have any choice as soon as I am on Apple hardware.
I find this meme completely tone deaf. The issue with mac isn’t that it lacks Unix features, it’s everything else.
Honestly MacOS is not great. At least with windows machines you can boot into a live system.
And have actual control over the OS.

What on earth are you on about? You’re completely in control of updates and you can enable the root account and do whatever you want. It’s still UNIX.
Are you talking about iOS/iPadOS? macOS is nothing like this and I have no idea what you’re on about.
