off the top of my head: apple dropping rosetta2 (the x86/amd64 compat layer), extreme focus on apple intellidunce, a variety of desktop-related things constantly just getting a bit worse (music.app is currently completely broken for shortcut/automation control), and things like trying to push the macos desktop to be far more like the ios ui (see e.g. the shit they've done with settings dialog)
apple's focuses are all in places and things that no-one wants, but they're too stubborn to listen to any feedback
That's fine for the users, they've always responded with copium and deepthroating any feature, flaw, or lack thereof either.
