I think you are must indeed be either a salesperson or one of those credulous Apple fanbois who stand all night outside the Apple Store when something new comes out, so that you can be the first to have it. Or maybe you haven't been using Macs long enough to have adopted a healthy, critical attitude. I have been a Mac user since 1995 including the very bad period when Steve Jobs left. When Jobs came back and moved the whole OS over to a Unix platform, launched the first iMac, and a whole lot of other things, Apple had a good period. But since Jobs died and that other guy took over, I don't think Apple cares very much about computers any more and in terms of technology is just cruising along on what the OS achieved whenJobs designed it. I still think the Mac OS is great but there are things about it I hate and Apple has made some bad mistakes in recent years by trying to introduce gimmicks to try and make a fully mature operating system seem "new" all the time. Plus really stupid things like the "touch bar" - now quietly discontinued because it was a PITA and the F keys disappeared. How dumb was that? Apple is far more interested in the iPhone, ApplePay, AppleTV and all those other things that make it a profit-driven behemoth. They just keep trying to add new bells and whistles to Macs to try and keep them seeming "new" including the M1 chip, which is nothing more than a great way to entice people into buying a new computer and (when they discontinue Rosetta like they did before) having to buy new versions of all their applications. I've tried not to sound like a salesperson.
