Apple? The company that has built its entire brand and product lines around "we know what's best for you and if you don't like the way we've done it, you're wrong"?

Yes. We expect the company that prides itself on having taste to avoid doing tasteless things.

Apple hasn't had good taste in probably a decade and a half now. Their recent UI redesign solidifies it.

The tastelessness has been creeping in

Tastes differ.

We’ve all grown out of that cliche. Literally every OS is opinionated.

		Every OS is opinionated, that doesn’t mean they all automatically equally good or bad. Individual implementation choices matter.

You’re not wrong but so far they’re one of the only major companies in their cohort that isn’t shoving AI down our throats/integrating it into literally everything and begging us to use it with some embarrassing corporate plea.

Opting out of Siri is incredibly easy and there are no major features i care about that decision locks me out of. I think it has some impacts on CarPlay but it’s never stopped me from being able to put on music for my kids or whatever.

Frankly I forget I’ve opted out all the time because they never bug me to start using it.

I hear you on this. All I hear is how behind Apple is with AI. More and more I'm feeling like thats a feature not a bug.

Let's not pretend that fact is anything but a happy accident, though. The only reason AI has been practically scrubbed from their website is to try to make us forget the time they preannounced fantastically brilliant AI capabilities and then delivered less than nothing -- not even fixing Siri, which is the obvious #1 product in the world that needs to be rebuilt on LLMs.

		Apple, maybe because of ego, is often not the major mover on anything they didn’t come up with first. They tend to take a wait and see approach with a lot of ideas. Hell look at VR (which I’m surprised they even did but clearly they see longterm value)
