MacOS is fine. Wouldn't be as maligned if it existed in a vacuum outside the Apple business model.

Its like buying a Thinkpad new... its crazy for that price, but otherwise everything is excellent. Paying $500 for a once $5000 Thinkpad will change your opinion on the sticker shock.

See, I’m speaking of macOS separate from Apple hardware, as a piece of software. But I guess most people don’t see those as separate things.

I hadn’t really considered that.
