I think apple is degrading general purpose computing.

It seems like you have to buy software to do anything on macos more conveniently.

Why can't I write a script in python? or a gui script in python? it's the top language.

You can use say swift, but even with "oh we opened it up", it's really an apple-specific language, and it's compiled.

Yes you can get brew going, but that's not apple.

and ios - what a travesty. You don't own your phone. You can't access your filesystem. you have to ask permission to do anything (and they don't grant it for most things)
