> Horrendous UX decisions by Apple.

Is there any OS that offers that by default? I don't remember ever seeing that on Windows or any linux distro I used.

Whether other OSs do by default is irrelevant. Are you saying that I just be content with the ability to turn off WiFi?

Besides, MacOS is cherished by many as a UX/UI masterpiece, yet there are many annoyances that need to be fixed by the user. For example window management is a big one, I simply haven’t been able to achieve the comfort of i3 on my work Mac. (tmux comes close, but I can’t run Firefox in there)
