better 20 years ago: doesn't spy on you, doesn't auto-update and wipe your external drive, doesn't have constant UX regressions in every new version, doesn't harass you to sign up to cloud services, doesn't hit a network service to validate every application you run, can actually be repaired yourself, can actually be upgraded yourself... etc.

>doesn't harass you to sign up to cloud services

That's not really true. The Os9 installer actually invites you register your computer with apple (and maybe even sign up for an apple account, been a hot minute since I've seen the dialogue). But you can just click through it if you don't want to.
