To be fair to Apple here, so does every other operating system. Linux system logs are filled with errors too. In general, keeping the logs of even a moderately complex application "clean" - so that the only errors logged are real errors, in some poorly defined meaning of "real" - is very hard.

For operating systems it must be straight up impossible.

Mostly only due to misbehaving hardware. Something that should really not happen on a Mac. And "filled" is way hyperbolic, there usually isn't a lot of it.

It's difficult to accept as competency when they control both the software and hardware.
