Not CLI related but here is a petty example of Apple taking something that worked for years and just dropping it. 1080i (interlaced) display support. My home theater tv supports 1080i but not 1080p, and I’ve been happily powering it with a Mac Mini running Kodi. A few years ago I “upgraded” macOS and lo and behold Apple just -decided- that I don’t need 1080i anymore and dropped support. No good reason, just “Fuck you, user. You don’t need this.”

Apple’s recent history is full of these “we know better and you don’t need this” decisions.
