I bought a computer with an OS. I don't need or want a note taking app from the OS vendor, or a document editing app, or a photo editing app. Their note taking app is just irrelevant to me - I want a computer and an OS from them. For a note taking app and many other programs, I'd rather use one of the various great (and sometimes open source) options.

I'm not expecting Apple to write a notes app that tops Obsidian, a photo management app that beats Lightroom, or a news reader that beats NetNewsWire, etc etc.

The point about writing code to export from Notes was to show that, if a person nonetheless chooses for whatever reason to use the free note taking app they ship with the OS, then they can still export things.
