I'm disappointed in macOS Monterey.
OK you can delete a users data and all apps and reset the machine. A long time coming for this.
working between 2 Mac screens is JUST OK. Nothing mind blowing.
At 12.5GB in size just to download, Not to Install . Monterey is more of the same slow BLOATED MESS that is Big Sur.
How can both Windows 10 and Windows 11 come in at 5GB download size and be super responsive and snappy and fast even on LOW HARDWARE requirement machines??
1 whole year to develop Monterey and it all ready looks like the same bloated mess that Big Sur is today.
You can't even spend a year to optimize and slim down what is Monterey??
SAD.

I’m always amazed at how Apple marks major OS releases with features that should have been present many years ago, and it’s celebrated as big deal.
That article is wrong. See this thread
You Left Your Phone Behind
Unintentionally found a new iOS feature today. Went out to eat, and after eating paid and left. Was pulling out of the parking lot when my Apple Watch alerted me that I left my phone behind. I turned the car back around and retrieved it. Very cool feature!

Still on Catalina. Still can't customize desktop (desktop icons have a mind of their own). Still can't see desktop computer hard drive from laptop on network - and vice versa. Have tried all the tips from forums. Don't work. I'm betting this stuff isn't fixed on Big Sur or Monterey either. Maybe Apple should come out with the Trona operating system.
They’ll fix that at the same time they fix Wi-Fi on the MacBooks.
Which, btw is still wonky on the M1 in MacOS 12.
Now we just need the old style RSS reader back (pre-Safari 6) and the return of the iOS/iPadOS App Stores to the macOS. And bringing back iTunes would be a plus, too. 
I reckon the "fix over the years" sheds light by itself.. No need watch further... It does put kinda of a damper on updates and "improvements" though.
I guess Erase all content a& settings should have been a Mac feature as well.. but we just all got it be used to iOS...
Now, on a Mac, it just feels... weird ...seeing it there.
Sorry, but FileVault is still far better

Even if current Apple Watches don’t have this feature (they will do though), you can bet your ass Series 7 will have it.That article is wrong. See this thread

Cleaning Data portion of the macOS and deleting installed Apps does not delete files installed by Apps in the System Library or the User Library. We all know installed Apps place all sorts of associated files in the System and User Library. So, I’m not so sure about this new feature returning the Mac to the freshly installed state.

If someone doesn’t know they need to own a domain to do this, this feature isn’t for them.
The Health app is a container for all kinds of health data, a lot of apps depend on it so I can imagine it would confuse people if these don’t work as expected, or at all.
The Search function is a feature so crucial to any OS I can’t imagine anyone wants to remove it. Maybe you just don’t like the swipe down to access it?
The App Library though has to be the most confusing feature ever. I just don’t get why people swipe past all their apps to access … their apps, but organised in a way they can’t control. It makes zero sense.

I like my home screen relatively clean, so I only have my most used apps on my home screen. The rest are in the drawer. I wish it was more like the Android app drawer, but I take what I can get.
Half of these are things I never knew were „annoying issues“. It‘s like they told themselves „hey we need a list of 20 annoyances fixed“ before making the video and then came up with annoyances that were the status quo and/or not that annoying to begin with (like custom mail domain, because you can have any external mail as an alias).
My Top-3-Annoyances on iOS/iPadOS are not on the list:
1. If you go back one page in Safari, it often jumps to the top instead of the position you came from. (No, it's not a memory-issue, it even happens, when nothing is done in between.) That makes it very annoying to use Safari for real browsing and not only for looking at one single page. Desktop-browsers has a "stable load" for years.
2. On the iPad the number of favicons per row on a new page in Safari not only vary depending if you use it in portait- or landscape-mode, but also depending if you open a new tab or tap the URL-bar. That makes your favicons appear in 4 different positions and makes you always search for it.
3. Text-input via Swype (aka text-path) is a very handy feature. But on the iPad it only works in the compact keyboard but not in the full input although it would be very handy there too.
With every new version I hope that these 3 bugs are fixed, but nothing happens for years...

Does it? I tested on this site and my iPad seems to remember where I leave the previous page with.
It only happens occasionally (on both iPhone and iPad). Not every time.
And sometimes I think it happens more often when I go back with a left-edge-swipe, that with the back-arrow. But sometimes it also happens with the back-button.
That is an effective way to “erase“ the data - no need to torture the SSD with 7 overwrites to really get it clean
