It's simply business. Majority of Apple's revenue comes from selling hardware. So the business goals will still to attract people to buy their hardware.
There are some improvements though, like having Apple Music available on Android, Apple TV+ on Android TV, and even allowing Microsoft to have iCloud Photos syncing with Windows Photos app. Small steps, but you get the gist.
What I would like from Apple is a more aggressive security update policy. All extant vulnerablities should be squashed for three years after the base OS has moved on. In other words Monterey should have security updates through the end of 2025.
If you bought a 2014 Mac mini in the spring of 2018 it runs out of support in 2024, after only six years of use which seems a little short.
Given how easy it was to get Monterey running on a 2010 Mac Pro Apple is giving up pretty easy on support of old hardware. You would think they were a hardware company or something. 😉
Oh well, the Mint Linux XCFE 21.1 runs quite well on a 2012 mini, and that is supported until 2027. We'll see if I can get 15 years out the little box.

They never went away, you just can't get them in the USA. Canada still has them!
I want to see fewer new features from Apple and more emphasis on fixing bugs and making sure things work properly right out of the gate.
Siri improvements
The ability to manually match songs in your library to songs in Apple Music

That would be me, yes.
I think the answer as to why only few people want it is because there is a lack of imagination.
In my head I already know the design and input methods needed for it to be extremely successful, not just for professionals, but for everybody that today use a computer.
My only hope is that Apple will release roughly what I have in mind, and not something similar to what we have witnessed so far, cuz then in that case the majority of people would be right into thinking it's no use.
- Thunderbolt 5 via USB-C across all iPhone, iPad and Mac devices
- USB-C charging across all Apple and Beats-branded accessories
- An updated Magic Mouse with the charging port at the “nose” instead of on the “belly”
- Simple multi-user support on iPads
- More seamless ways to let guests beam music to speakers in my HomeKit home without adding them to the home
- iTunes Store integration with Letterboxd so it’s easy to find movies on my watchlist to watch or hide movies I’ve already seen

There is a good idea. Photos is such a disk hog I don't even use it. Your notion would fix it. When you have the picture the way you want it there should be a "reclaim cache" button. Keep the original and the final version and delete every intermediate version. There could even be a 'replay edit script' function so you could repeat the work you did later step by step until you get to the part you want to do differently.
Thinking about it a little more computers have reversed themselves. iPhoto came out when CPUs were slower but hard drives were big (2012 Mac mini came with a 500 GB drive), so saving everything to avoid duplicating work made sense. With the M1 it's reversed. The CPU is very fast but SSD space is limited. So using the CPU to redo work is better than using SSD space on intermediate pictures you may never want again.
Edit, I looked up the numbers, my bottom end MacBook Air has a CPU that is six times faster than the one in the 2012 Mini. But is has only half the storage space, albeit much faster storage space. So yes a reallocation of resources is indicated.

A new G4 Cube type design for the next Mac Studio including more reasonably priced and smaller matching Studio Display.
How about an iPad Mini Pro? Or at the least an iPad mini with a ProMotion display instead of the awful 60hz abomination it currently has.
A gaming focused Apple Tv and a smaller mac mini
4" pocket size Iphone without a notch. Any other product that doesn't have an ugly notch in the screen would also be nice.

Apple just lost a 💰 trillion-dollar worth of market value in 2022. No way they are thinking or considering lower the prices down.
But if we can make Apple understand that they need to work much harder on bug-free software or their market value will continue to go down... then we'd be somewhere.
My daughter would like a pink unicorn with a blue horn please
