Not running the betas and Monterey is stable for me so far, but I wanted to add my voice to the disquiet re. Apple’s software quality. The Mx memory leaks are particularly concerning.
This seems to be on a downward trajectory with seemingly no recognition or contrition from the senior leadership there.
With Apple being famously opaque, it’s hard to know what’s going on though.
However, they seem to have forgotten the feature that Apple used to be famous for: ‘it just works’.
(ok I know that Apple did not have a mythical bug-free past, but I’d contend that my point still stands).
Do the engineering teams want to pause to optimise and fix bugs? (engineers usually do).
Or are they lashed to the mast by marketing, who need a ‘narrative’ of features for WWDC in case people en-mass migrate to Android/Windows?
At least though, on MacOS we can revert to an earlier - more stable - version of the OS (though it’s not exactly easy). With iOS & iPadOS - no such luck.
