In Catalina, I see the move towards these macOS & iOS compatible apps ("Catalyst") as making it easier to develop apps for both. It's a service for developers, if you will (I am not an app developer!)

I don't necessarily see it as trying to create a single OS for both desktop and mobile.

To be clear: I’m not saying they’re trying to create a single OS. I’m saying the “Apple knows best” concepts they’re applying to macOS that are seemingly inspired by iOS are very hostile to a large part of their user base.

Fair, thanks for clarifying!

I, in fact, find the catalyst apps on macOS still needing work. And I’m talking the Apple ones: Music, News

Music is not a Catalyst app. Did you mean the new Podcasts app? Music is a trimmed down version of iTunes which is a Cocoa app.

Trimmed down in some respects, buggier and slower in others. It may seem to be a Catalyst to some because many aspects of the UI severely regressed to custom implementations of standard Cocoa controls that iTunes 12 used.
