The one that mystifies me, is why Apple pulled their original Dubai At Night screensaver[0]. [0] https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=766810966790684 (This seems to be the only place to find it online).
Was this filmed with a drone or helicopter? Is it possible the right "permits" weren't obtained before flying over the rush hour traffic?

I'd take a guess and say that Dubai is one of those places that's a bit paranoid of aerial imagery? Was this filmed with a drone or helicopter? Is it possible the right "permits" weren't obtained before flying over the rush hour traffic?
Everything up through 10.6 makes me feel indescribably warm and fuzzy. I don't like Steve Jobs very much as a person, and I don't quite buy the myth that he was as much of a unique genius as some people believe, but...is it a coincidence that 10.7 marked the end of the (second) Jobs-era at Apple? ...or maybe it's just nostalgia.
10.2/10.3/10.4 are the ones that do it for me. Spent way too much time on my Macs through those years, through which I frequently used the default desktop pictures because they were so smooth and nice to look at, and each OS X release was nicer to use than the last which made for positive associations with each.
10.5/10.6 were good too, but I found the default desktops on those too busy and usually used something else. I also typically used custom themes by way of Shapeshifter[0] because I found the gray metal look of those releases too dark and modded my dock with themes found on MacThemes. As a result the default 10.5/10.6 desktops aren’t emotionally evocative for me.
I do however miss the 10.5/10.6 implementation of virtual desktops, which gave you a 2D grid to place desktops on instead of just a line.

Repeating bears in overalls is all I can see when I think System 7 desktop pattern.

I have a couple of friends that used to work for Apple, and neither one has any idea why.

They also created one for Monterey since it didn’t ship with exclusive landscape photography:

There's still a daytime top-down Dubai screensaver video on Apple TV I believe.
