As a Mac user since 2000 and through the initial pains of the OS X transition, this is on the mark.
Many old Mac users were very unhappy about the upgrade from Classic to OS X. "File extensions? Non-spatial Finder? A command line? What is this bullshit, and why does it run so slowly on my top of the line 400 MHz Power Mac G4..."
But eventually they adapted. At present, Apple is "boiling the frog" on turning Mac into something closer to an iPad Pro with a keyboard (Marzipan brings iOS UI style to desktop; mandatory app notarization prevents running non-approved software; etc.) Despite the grumbles, Mac users will acquiesce here as well and just get on with their work.
