Thank you, this makes the frustration in the above quote more understandable. For anyone wanting to avoid the x click: > Worth stressing this was reported to Apple before the GA was released (by multiple people, to multiple teams/orgs within Apple) so Apple 100% knew about this, and shipped macOS 15 anyways
Apple, or at least their teams responsible for answering feedback, rarely ever give substantial responses nowadays, regardless of how well documented the submission was. So it compounds the frustration. And this isn’t even the most egregious case, sometimes the bugs are so obvious that they generate multiple hard faults, per hour, logged in Console, on a fresh installation with only the default apps running.
> At this point, it’s unclear exactly what is the issue So, is this a bug in Sequoia or a change that affects these low-level tools? If the latter, they may not like it, but that’s par for the game on MacOS.

There's a bug megatread on r/macos full of networking bugs that makes it clear that upgrading to sequoia is not a good idea just yet.
macOS release dates are predictable and Apple ships developer previews and public betas. If these vendors can't update their products in time that doesn't speak for their processes, automated testing infrastructure nor care for their customers.

Not just networking issues, there are plenty of reports with external drives having problems as well.
Interestingly in that thread, 'Intel' is not mentioned once.

Per Patrick Wardle, this was well reported to Apple during beta. https://x.com/patrickwardle/status/1836862900654461270

I usually wait for a .4 update before upgrading. One time around Catalina there was a bug that broke USB-C docks.. Oh cool none of my devices work. Interestingly in that thread, 'Intel' is not mentioned once.
And that I just sent a message yesterday to my team to wait before installing sequoia... But now I'll use your target of .4.

Please look past the fact that CrowdStrike is today’s, or yesterday’s, cultural whipping boy. They make software, and its users would like it to work. It’s not a good thing.
> “As a developer of macOS security tools, it’s incredibly frustrating to time and time again have to deal with (understandably) upset users (understandably) blaming your tools for breaking their Macs, when in reality it was Apple’s fault all along,” I would like to understand this better. Were there not any beta releases that these companies could have tested with in advance? Or were changes made between the beta an…
