That's pretty annoying. I swear you used to be able to, what changed?

Edit: I thought Apple supported MTP but I guess they never did? That's a weird limitation for an OS to have.

It makes a lot more sense when you consider that Apple's business model relies heavily on keeping customers locked into their ecosystem.

Clearly a Mac user should also have an iPhone, or face the repurcussions for using a non-Apple device.

macOS has limited support for MTP.. native browsing of Android devices is very limited or broken. Using ADB is admittedly a workaround, but it provides broader device compatibility and control, especially on newer Android versions

MTP is slower than adb in my experience
