I've never understood why apps get the final say on what goes in my menubar in macOS. Skype says I need a menubar icon; I say I don't. Why does Skype's opinion trump mine?

I don't understand how you can be surprised at a lack of customization options on an Apple OS. It's literally one of their selling points.

Yes, exactly—Apple decides what's best for me. I know they'll fiddle with my menubar as they please. But it's very much outside their usual mode of operations to let random other apps decide what's best for me.

It would be nice if it were built into the OS, but especially when I had smaller screens on a laptop I found Bartender an invaluable application.

Because the Apple software product model isn't built to be customizable by the end user.
