More is not always better. Apple clearly prioritizes simplicity over choice. People who care about having total control over their UI would find this a negative but to Apple this is a feature. They played it up as a strength as far back as making fun of PCs days. But, I wonder if either side is even aware of the progress that has been made and the improvements … or is just stuck defending their past experience - which may not be representative of the current state of things 🤔
Anyway, I find this whole debate stale. People will disagree for ages and that’s why they have options to choose from. I just find it really stupid when people tie their identity to brands instead of treating tech as tools. Whatever tool works best for you - use it. And you’re not limited to one tool… you can always have multiple.
