Apple stepped up its release cycle, way back around the time Steve passed away, to upgrade OS X yearly. I assume that was to better compete with Google and other web-based companies. I think the less technical Apple execs were frightened that customers would notice web services were more modern (being a whole 1.5 years more current).

Now people don't bother writing good Mac software. One of the factors is that you're building on shifting sand: by the time you update an app for Mac OS 20, version 21 is out. So more and more, Mac customers will associate Mac software with unpleasant Electron software.

In retrospect, Apple should have played to the strengths of its Mac software.
