That is typical apple.

I felt EXACTLY like that using my first mac coming from unix. Apple hides things and I never quite knew what was going on under the hood.

But now it is like 1000x that. Run "ps -ef" on the command line from macos and wonder. I have 311 processes running. What is dprivacyd or com.apple.geod or photoanalysisd or ProtectedCloudKeySyncing?

With photography I feel your pain. Everything is amazing, but at the same time really dumbed down. You don't need to know how Ansel Adams zone system, but... you don't know exactly what is going on and you have little control. Sometimes you need white balance or manual exposure or manual focus or control over the shutter speed, or a real shutter button.

sigh.
