    Idk about the internal affairs, I just really don't like Python for web backend kind of things. It's taking them way too long to sort out parallelism and packaging, while NodeJS go…

    Aside from iTunes getting gimped, I don't feel like the Mac is neglected at all. Was annoyed about the 2016-2019 MBPs though.

    Yeah, going from Intel to M1 was a huge improvement, but not in every way. So now they're closing all the other gaps, and it's getting even better.

    In this case, it's probably because the alternatives are good enough, even if it's just that Firefox users open Chrome in specific instances where they want to connect to special h…

    In a cross-platform way, kinda yeah. Especially on the Mac side where OS updates always break everything.

    At least I'm a little relieved that Firefox and Safari don't support that either.
