Predications for future versions of macOS

[KoolAid-Drink]

Here are my predications for the future of macOS, past Monterey. Would love your input and your own predications to be shared as well!

2-5 years:

• Removal of Stickies, in favor of Quick Notes/Notes.app
• Music, TV, App Store, Calculator, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Migration Assistant, Shortcuts applications to be Catalyst'd (specifically calling out Migration Assistant because it uses a similar appearance to the iOS/iPadOS migration assistant, so should be easy to be Catalyst'd)
• Newly Catalyst'd System Preferences to be renamed Settings (just like iOS), retain an iPadOS-like appearance, less advanced settings (have been trending towards that since at least Snow Leopard)
• Photo Booth replaced with a Catalyst'd Camera.app, with modern filters
• Terminal to be unusable for regular users, can be enabled by disabling SIP
• Xcode replicated onto the iPadOS environment, with some limitations
• More extensive integration with iOS devices
• Software suite to be Catalyst'd (FCP, LPX, Pages, Keynotes, etc)
• Phasing out of earlier Mac OS-era appearances/wording (ie, the wording "assistant" originated in maybe System 7 or Mac OS 8). Some applications and preference panes use a mish-mash of different eras of Mac OS X appearances (examples: Launchpad is straight from Lion; Automator looks exactly like it did in Tiger; Home is a straight port out of iOS). Unification is key here, and we'll probably be seeing more unifying of different OS wording and appearance artifacts.
• One version of macOS might be dedicated completely to under-the-hood fixes and optimizations, as well as unifying of elements.
• Applications such as Stocks, News, etc. to be removable, similar to iOS
• Image Capture abilities merged into Photos.app, or Preview.app; then the application removed
• More feature parity between all devices
• Battery feature on the Mac, to display battery percentages of all devices (interchangeably; Mac battery status can be seen on iOS as well)

Extremely long term (ie, around 5 or so years down the road):

• Core applications to be Catalyst'd (Safari, TextEdit, Photos, Preview, QuickTime, utility applications)
• QuickTime renamed to "Video Player" (wrt unification above)
• Finder to be replaced with Files.app (Catalyst'd from iPadOS), a new "Desktop.app" will display the default desktop environment upon login
• Removal of legacy, seldom-used utility applications such as Grapher, Digital Color Meter, Color Sync, Audio Midi Setup
• Deprecation and eventual discontinuation of AppKit, UIKit, and Cocoa in favor of Swift
• Eventual merging of all OSes into one unified Apple OS across all devices (perhaps called "appleOS"). More likely after Intel is 100% sunset, and version numbers are too high/all over the board. This might be a great way for Apple to start fresh with its software base, with all legacy code completely shed.

Note: WRT the term Catalyst, could also be Swift'd instead of Catalyst'd; as the eventual end goal might be to move all apps (for all platforms) towards Swift as a single codebase, with platform unification; in that case, Catalyst is a stopgap for now, focusing exclusively on iOS applications being run/designed for Mac too.
