macOS dark ages.

I wonder if we’re about to enter 4-5 years of macOS “dark ages”, due to Apple grappling with EU/DMA.

Much like Microsoft in early 2000s, between IE/lawsuit and grappling with internet security/viruses. Windows XP, launched in 2001, was considered by most a great OS, didn’t have another good OS successor until 8-years later (Windows 7).

It’s not at all like they didn’t have the time or the resources to deal with this.

I think we already saw some of this in particular with the recent bullshit they tried to pull with PWAs in iOS 17.4 that they were hoping to just let things break and were hoping that they could shift the blame and anger towards the EU instead.
