Asking customers to file issues there and then not at all responding to those for months and years even after repeated pings should definitely generate some interest from Meta.

Cell phones from other brands have Touch ID and it works great. Apple has Touch ID on their iPads and it also works great. As it does on the MacBooks. As it does on the iPhone SE. It should be brought back.

Liquid Glass I agree with. Not sure if the Touch ID comment is intended as a joke.

Hardware Design: check Hardware: check Software Design: check Software: please!
For a good while, Mac hardware was held back because of hardware design. That changed soon after Ive left. Maybe the same can happen with software now.
