This sort of thing is absolutely not new since the “Jobs era.”

Early Mac OS X had exactly these criticisms leveled at it, for years.

Isn't Mac OS X solidly in the Jobs era?

Yes, it’s basically NeXT and is 100% a Jobs thing. The parent is correct that it’s had major ux issues since day 1 though. Interestingly they also mixed in terrible OS 9 ux (cough Finder, cough .DS_STORE).
