This is the iOS on which it was impossible to type the letter "i." iOS may get more attention, but both operating systems seem to have lost the plot on software quality.
"Can someone here explain to me what is the login dialog supposed to do? ... Ok. Then why the doesn't it do that???"
The lack of care begins with the little things then entropy takes over.
Windows 10 actually has this, and it works really well.

"i don't need an anti-virus i have a mac" was something i used to hear... its always just been security by obscurity as far as i have seen.
hopefully this will have the opposite effect to what you describe and they might start to take it seriously after being so lucky for years and years...

I'm curious why you use your choice of OS/hardware to cast a tiny vote on the behavior of a vast corporation, instead of simply choosing the OS/hardware that you prefer. For me, the choice of laptop is too important for me to choose a worse laptop for those reasons.
One huge thing is that stuff you create gets set to 777. In the Windows environment, this is expected. But outside of /mnt/c I would figure that standard Linux perms would be honored. Nope. This has been very inconsistent.
That leads me to conclude that my options are either to figure out all the workarounds to do stuff from Windows natively, or keep a Linux VM handy.
I used to be jealous of people that ran Macs or Windows because they did seem to "just work" better than a Linux machine, though had inferior packaging systems and security features.
These days, my Dell laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 seems to have less problems with audio/video in conference calls than the Macs my coworkers use, and there are vendors like Dell or System76 that'll sell you a pre-configured system if you don't want to fiddle with things.
As someone who had been a Mac user for ~15 years, this is yet another example of news coming from Apple's general direction that makes me feel like Apple has stopped giving much attention to macOS.
Yes. They still work on it. But it feels like it gets table scraps, compared to the attention given iOS, and iOS devices.
It's the thought that runs through my head on learning that this issue had been on a public forum and nothing public from Apple in response.
I ended up switching to Windows 10 for a daily driver. It's been a painful move, the workflow (so far) isn't nearly as smooth.
I'm sad. I used to dismiss others who would opine and say Apple feels like it's on a quality decline. Unfortunately, I'm starting to agree with them.
Success may not the best teacher, it seems.
