On the contrary, there are some good stories about how Apple is improving their environmental footprint and a lot of community related products. The issue is that hey make computers not trees, and their users are frustrated with the increased profit over development. It's not because their newest model isn't as fast as the competitor, but rather because there is no new model for most of their products.
The ones that are new added very little at the expense of people's favorite features. No SD slot and no magsafe was not an acceptable trade off for integrating an unremoveable Apple Watch into their "pro" notebooks. Considering Apple touch screens have suffered from touch rot and they refuse to take responsibility why do they think Pro users would be happy about this?
Combine this with the 3+ year delay and a lot of us are in the market again for a new mac. I have a new Mac Pro in my office and my software has exceeded it. I need better tech, but I can't buy a better mac. Meanwhile my iMac is battling a failing gpu that I can't replace. I can't buy a Mac mini, because the "new" one is slower than my 7 year old iMac. I won't buy a new iMac because Apple showed terrible support of my old hardware. At least the gpu is user replaceable on what I have, even if I can't get one. I won't buy a new device that I can't even swap the SSD or double the ram on.
You want to know why MR reports on negative stuff? It's probably because there little positive to talk about. Apple should be thrilled we are complaining because it means we are still willing to listen to what they have to say. Very soon however I am going to have to buy new hardware and I'm going to be far less interested in Mac Rumors if I stop buying Macs.
