If they put a bunch of new features in the OS, everyone complains, "Why don't they focus on stability!!"

If they focus on stability, everyone says, "Not enough new features to be worth the upgrade".

I guess no one can be happy. Or they expect a ton of new instantly stable features...

Why can’t we have no features AND unstability? If the rumor spreads that Apple doesn’t succeed to fine enough OS-level programmers, it’s precisely because all of usability + stability + innovation are going down at the same time. Gone are the days where you’d expect Apple to launch a new APFS, encryption, or a general SSO solution for employees across all Apple devices.

Which is sorely needed.

Because honestly I’m afraid of paying $12 to $24 per device per employee and per month for an SSO+MDM solution that would make me depend on a dodgy Windows-style UI (Jamf) or worse, all my employees’ ability to login would depend on Okta.

What are you basing that claim on? The only part recognizable from experience for me is the innovation claim and even that is dubious since the entire industry is plateauing as things mature.

Or perhaps only half of 'everyone' feels compelled to comment each release.

For a lot of us, complaining is fun. It has a long tradition in human culture. A good kvetch lets off steam, especially when its a group kvetch.
