Yep. The MacOS team was disbanded in 2016. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-20/how-apple...

This is so disappointing to hear what I've suspected for a while.

I'm a huge fan of OS X but was recently forced to move my creative work to Windows for GPU power and affordable CPU power, and honestly I've found it good enough to work with but I still do miss having Terminal and Finder.

As much as I used to love Apple hardware I could honestly just do without it these days with their laptops getting worse and their pro line being a choice between M.I.A and a disposable workstation. The only thing I'll miss is OS X.

Possibly in imitation, there actually is no more Windows "team" at Microsoft either: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/windows-leader-terry...

So we're in for a rocky few years in commercial operating systems.

Windows software division has been turned into a services group. Windows is going from Software for sale to software as a service.
