It's confusing that folks are upset about this. If it doesn't work for you, don't work for Apple. It's like complaining about the neighbor who bakes great apple pies also happens to not let their children play video games. The children may be upset by why would you be?

While you are indeed free not to work for Apple (that is what I do!), policies in FAANG companies have significant influence on smaller companies who tend to cargo cult them without much thinking. That is how we end up with leetcode-style interviews, now I'm afraid we all might end up back in office, only even worse one than before where you don't even have assigned table in the open-space.

"If you don't like it, leave!"

Following this advice bolsters bad policies & practices by removing opposition from institutions.

It's noble to stay aboard to fight the good fight. I'm envious of engineers able to take on the risk.
