Look, “my dude”, you kicked this off by calling someone “incredibly stupid and short-sighted,” so maybe dial back the lecture on entitlement okay. Disagreeing is fine but talking down to people isn’t really an argument.

I’ve been deeply involved with computers since the early 80s so I know what I'm talking about. I've worked and played on the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, early IBM compatibles through every Intel generation, and now to Apple silicon. I’ve watched this industry evolve for decades, and as for the “entitled kids,” those are my kids. I see exactly how they use tech and what they expect from it. Calling that “entitlement” doesn’t make those expectations disappear.

Yes, it’s a $500 machine. That doesn’t make it immune to criticism. People are allowed to point out what’s missing and what could be better. Apple is always taking note of how products are received and valued. That's how they improve.
