His has been my experience as well. The changes from System Preferences to Settings have been an abomination. Previously we had uniquely designed layouts for each setting. Now everything is a list. Now menus scroll without any indication that there’s more content. “Sheets” are no longer resizable and take up the center of the view. User space networking (cool) hangs while pegging one CPU (lame). Everything requires special permissions and several times a month I’m having to figure out why a program can’t access something. Writing programs forces using Swift UI APIs that don’t have equivalent functionality to their App Kit versions.

After over 20 years, I’m really unhappy with macOS. The last five years have have been a huge productivity regression.
