Apple stepped up its release cycle, way back around the time Steve passed away, to upgrade OS X yearly. I assume that was to better compete with Google and other web-based companies. I think the less technical Apple execs were frightened that customers would notice web services were more modern (being a whole 1.5 years more current).<p>Now people don't bother writing good Mac software. One of the factors is that you're building on shifting sand: by the time you update an app for Mac OS 20, version 21 is out. So more and more, Mac customers will associate Mac software with unpleasant Electron software.<p>In retrospect, Apple should have played to the strengths of its Mac software.
