It's not necessarily "blaming", more a combination of:

- Apple released macOS 26 - This version was in testing for many months - During this time, Apple has apparently not tested how Slack, VSCode, Discord, work - Or they have, but haven't bothered to reach out to Electron maintainers - The overriding of the private API was in order to fix a bug with a public one

Combine all of these and there is some onus on Apple for this. If you don't fix your broken public APIs, don't be surprised when people start using your private ones that do work.

But easily the worst point is that QA apparently is limited to their own applications only. Do they really care about the user if they don't test applications found on nearly every mac setup out there? Don't they use Slack internally?!

How come this only surfaces now? Surely large companies such as Microsoft and Slack apparently tested their products that use Electron with the public betas?

It's very hard to notice and very easy to attribute something else. The main symptom is your laptop heating up which is usually attributed to (1) You just have a slow MacBook, you should get a new one (2) During beta, "it's a beta and it's expected to heat up and be slow" (3) People not caring about temps because they use the laptop in clamshell mode

I believe this falls into the perfect definition of "slipped thru the cracks"
