Those days are over. I’ve been using Intel Unison on my 11th gen desktop for a long time now. Microsoft Phone Link also works but isn’t limited to Intel, it’s inferior but it does the job. Both work with iOS.

I mean, the point of my post was that it IS easy for Apple users; just not people outside the group.
