Honest question: How would this affect me and the vast majority of macOS users who use the device for media consumption and productivity applications?

Next question: what reason would Apple have to make a change that would interfere with developers using their operating system?

Your “next question” seems very leading. Can you make your point more clear? What’s your answer to that question?

I don't understand your question since my question was honestly posed.

What might lead Apple to make a change that would reduce the audience of their devices. I don't develop on macOS but I know developers who do. Did they just make a mistake and they're gonna fix it?

		I doubt it was an intentional change. A lot of bugs result from, "hmm, didn't think about that use case. Ooops." There's just the question of how long it'll be before they ship a fix. It seems like there ought to be an automated test for something like this, but Apple seems to be shedding QA as fast as Microsoft is. (And apologies if it seemed that I was insinuating ill intent on your part.)
