This is categorically false. Apple has always taken ideas poorly executed by other companies, learned from their mistakes, and shipped a vastly improved product built on technologies that others failed with. Their new building is practically the only exception. Even things like depth sensors on phones have been attempted by Google (project Tango) with little commercial success.
some counterexamples: iMacs without floppy disks and with USB, MacBooks with only USB3 ports, the original iPhone, the touch bar (like it or not, it's pretty cutting edge), ...
As with your other examples it has antecedents, just poorly executed. Acer, Microsoft ( Windows Sideshow, 2008) and Razer had all experimented with an adaptive secondary LCD.

"macos 10.13 bug isn't limited to root in all circumstances; via ARD, you can log in as any existing user (e.g. _applepay) and share the screen of the logged-in user. also _uucp is allowed to log in"
Not that this isn't a bad thing, but it's vastly better than a remote execution exploit which is default-enabled.
1. He makes a direct, unqualified comparison between a Windows vulnerability that allowed remote execution of code over the Internet to a macOS one that was only a local privilege escalation.
2. He mischaracterizes the macOS bug as "password-free access," when in fact you need to log in to an account to begin with. Basic miscomprehension.
3. Apple Park isn't even open yet. Who knows if it will have bugs too (spoiler: DEFINITELY). Holding it up as less buggy than other Apple product is nonsensical on its face. It is just idiotic to report they don't lavish the same attention to detail on the iPhone as they do the pizza boxes in Cafe Macs.
4. Apple has a long history of favoring the cutting edge over the tried and true. It has worked out pretty well for them. It is totally dishonest to characterize that as something new.
5. This author is part of a long history of click-baity "Apple has finally screwed things up this time" reporting that happens every single product cycle.
