If you’re curious how but don’t want to read, I skimmed and it seems like overzealous privacy/permission warnings are at the heart of their complaints. I’d agree, it’s annoying but I prefer it to the alternative.
Creative cloud wanted to run at login, and in the old days, it would just make that happen. Now it implores YOU to turn on the setting because it cannot. That’s a win in my book.
While that is good, to many warning pop ups also aren’t good. As if you always need to click through 5-7 warnings/permission windows, you might not notice when a bad one sneaks in to the middle.
It’s a difficult problem to navigate, especially as you need to have it work for such a big and diverse audience.
That’s a theoretical issue. In actuality, I haven’t faced anything close to windows level pop ups. I think Apple has struck the right balance personally and I would definitely not want to go back.
Too many popups is really Windows’ issue. It’s not that all the bullshit companies do doesn’t require you to authorize it; it’s that anything you install needs effectively the same permission and you’re basically conditioned to ignore it.
Apple’s version where it tells you what it wants permission for is much better.

That’s really good. I don’t personally use Appel for computers, so I never seen how they do it.

That’s a very polite way of saying that part of the target audience are idiots.
You mean stuff like sandboxing and preventing apps from making system changes?
