Apple introduces macOS Mojave

I'm not sure what I'm expecting to be honest, but I never use any of the in-built macOS apps so I just skim over those announcements. They don't seem like they should be part of what's considered the OS.

Totally agree - and from a tech point I imagine they probably don't require a new OS (perhaps in most cases).

However I imagine it's probably a good way to get people to stay up to date with the latest OS: "Oh, I want that shiny new app, I must update"

Why not? Would you rather macOS shipped with no system apps?

System apps like Terminal, Disk Utility, Preview, etc. Yes.

Stocks, News, iTunes, Maps, Photos, Mail, etc, should be optional.

I think they mean that the stock apps should be updated separately to the OS, like any normal app

I guess I'm expecting system wide features that only Apple could add because they involving updating the underlying OS. Adding group chat to their video chat app that I never use for example isn't that interesting to me and shouldn't require an OS update.
