I, uh... I'd like to take some time and point out the following implicit logic veiled beneath your posit of pro-Apple fanboyism bias.

  Even if it's a software update, Apple bears the full brunt
  of all the acrimony, because when it comes to Macintosh 
  products, Apple takes credit for the whole thing, 
  regardless of  where the failure originates, be it 
  hardware or software.

Apple controls The Spice in that scenario (and thus, the universe). They are at fault for everything that sucks no matter what.
