My 2021 M1 MBA is still running Big Sur. I have no desire for Monterey or Ventura. Mistly because things work (for now) and I use only basic functions of macOS anyway.
I feel like I’m the only one since most of the Macs can upgrade (well except my 2014 MBA, which is another reason to keep the M1 with Big Sur).
 
Im still on Big Sur. Monterey/Ventura have that glitch where secure input in safari causes apps to open behind the safari window so it looks like nothing is opening. It also messes with magic mouse acceleration. Also hyperdock doesnt work as nicely after BS (I heavily depend on gestures to bring apps in from other spaces while in a different space - super useful!)
 
I can upgrade officially to Monterey [MacBook Pro 2015] but decided to go back to Catalina... Monterey has some features only available for Apple Silicon devices and Catalina is the last intel only release that is why I decided to not go beyond Catalina even though I am using iOS 16.7 on iPhone 11 Pro Max...
 
I have held off too because Big Sur fits my needs. Once it is no longer supported I might have to make the decision to upgrade.
