Yeah, sorry for the grumpy rant..
It is a bit hypocritical (or masochistic) for me to complain about Apple products while still using them, albeit older models.
One reason why I'm frustrated is that I fondly remember the era of Apple ][. To quote, "Wozniak's open-architecture design and the Apple II's multiple expansion slots permitted a wide variety of third-party devices, including peripheral cards such as serial controllers, display controllers, memory boards, hard disks, networking components, and realtime clocks."
Recent trends seem to be an affront to the spirit of personal computing, and that's what I'm lamenting essentially.
