> you need specific dpi ratio to make scaling works, otherwise blurry screen
And last time I checked, there were 4 (four) external monitors in the entire world that could render a Mac without blurriness. So the vast majority of people using a dock with their MacBook are looking at a blurry mess.
All because Apple didn't want to maintain subpixel antialiasing.

Yeah, this drives me nuts, this is insanely user hostile and greedy behavior at once.
At the same time, they push you to buy their overpriced hardware (with limited availability/options) but if you dare buy not enough of it, they fuck you over with a reduced display quality even though they had a decently working solution before and it couldn't have costed that much to maintain.
I don't care for a laptop and their desktop offering is either absurdly overpriced (Studio Display) or way too underpowered for the price (iMac).
In a way, that makes it easier to not want anything from them, because nowadays on non-retina display, I actually prefer the font rendering coming out of Windows that whatever macOS is doing.
you can't charge keyboard/trackpad (and probably a lot of other stuff) with (some, or most) non-apple blessed chargers. i was unable to charge the trackpad fully, even in a week; had it constantly connected to charger, couldn't connect to mbp as the mbp had only usb-c ports. after few warranty replacements, someone asked me what charger i'm using, so i've tested the usb-c -> usb-a adapter and connected the trackpad/keyboard to the mbp. it charged fully, and the battery didn't died in few hours. after that i've returned/give away all apple-made accessories. fuck that hostility
