Is that not every major software release? Like what are you gonna do, stop using your phone / laptop and turn hermit? Because I 100% feel people would be more likely to do that than to hop ecosystems, but then this is obviously not happening either. So yes, people will just shake their fist at the sky and then just slowly accept whatever instead. Not because "nurds stoopid", but because life moves on. Life's not anywhere near so narratively satisfying.

You can easily wait for a few years to update MacOS or iOS, so it's not a huge deal.

iOS starts shoving the update down your throat the moment it’s out. I wonder if there’s a “don’t try to auto update the OS dammit” setting somewhere. I guess I’ll be investigating this fall!

MacOS has the same annoying behaviour, but you can still close the notice and keep on keeping on.

But if you don’t use the newest macOS, you don’t get all security updates. ;(

You still get security updates for older versions, and you are fine without them anyway.
