None I am sure. Some people have a personal hatred of Cook and I have no idea why.
Mortals like me (well, like the vast majority of human beings I hope) don't entirely identify themselves with their jobs, or at least we learn that work is not everything. I guess this is also one of the reasons we do not become CEOs. Also because most of the jobs that normal people do are not fulfilling and financially rewarding. So I couldn't imagine myself at 65 still wanting to deal with all the s..t of a workplace and its stress, especially if I had only a tenth of the wealth accumulated by Cook. Doesn't he have hobbies, places to visit, books to read, skills he always wanted to learn?
the designer of the horror himself being gone is not enough, all the others that permitted and validated its release should go too.
John Ternus does look likable person and appears to be a great choice for Tim Cook successor. It is great to hear that he has been working to make better product quality improvements while I think the Apple products have had great qualities already. However, it is always a great idea to keep improving going as nothing is perfect. Tim does not need to step down unless he wants it. He has done a lot of great things for Apple corporation and their customers! Stay put unless needs to step down, Tim!
In an in-depth article for Bloomberg Businessweek today, Mark Gurman profiled Apple's hardware engineering chief John Ternus, who is widely viewed as the leading candidate to become Apple's next CEO whenever Tim Cook decides to step down.
The article is very long, so we recommend reading it in full, but a few of the key takeaways are that Ternus is apparently "well-liked among Apple's leadership" and helped with "reversing a trend of declining product quality" at the company.
"Since getting the top hardware engineering role in 2021, he's overseen an expansion in Apple's product lineup, improving quality and focusing on functional improvements around battery life, performance and connectivity," wrote Gurman.
Cook reportedly gave oversight of Apple's design teams to Ternus at the end of last year, and Ternus has been making a lot more public appearances in interviews and in product introduction videos over the past few years. The profile provides a closer look at how Ternus has risen to become the frontrunner to succeed Cook eventually.
Cook has not shared his retirement plans with even some of his closest lieutenants, according to the report, so it is unclear when he plans to step down. Cook has served as Apple's CEO since 2011, and he reached the common retirement age of 65 last year. In a recent interview, he vaguely said "I can't imagine life without Apple."

I don't see anyone calling for a moratorium on Windows development, for all the nonsense they are attempting to shove down users' throats.
This is the first realistic comment I’ve seen in this thread.
The iPad line (and especially the Pro) is like the poster child for the gap between Apple’s hardware and software.
