You don’t need to do anything special to “reveal” that Apple doesn’t prioritize backwards compatibility. That is very well known. For example, standard practice for audio professionals is to wait a year or more to upgrade MacOS, to give all the vendors a chance to fix what broke.



Even 15 years ago the common knowledge was to never upgrade to major versions of Apple software, and wait for a .2 release, at least.

However, these days it seems that even point releases only introduce new bugs in the rush to deliver late features, and rarely address any issues


I have to disagree. Sequoia .0 was spectacularly broken and .1 is a very noticeable improvement.

…of course I’d rather stay on Sonoma if I could go back in time…


IT departments installing MDM trashware which forces upgrades is the problem.


And the compliance-industrial complex that incentivizes/forces that behavior.
