Absolutely agree with the lack of use of metal. On the gaming front, I think noone cares about the API as much as people need a flaw to point out. Most developers use abstractions over it. What I think Apple really sucks so bad at is the app distribution aspect for macOS. Ironic given how well it is done on iOS! Given Baldur’s Gate 3 hype right now, Divinity Original Sins 2 would do with a real good marketing via emails, push notifications and engagement with the publisher to promote it more, right? But zilch. New games drop with 0 marketing despite notifications for hilariously ill-suited Apple Arcade games for macOS. Apple sucks at promotion of apps now. Thats it. No Man’s Sky is out for mac, so where do I get it? Steam but not macOS? What? It was a feature in your keynote for consumers and developers a year ago LoL
For AI-ML, this is tough to answer because Apple just isn’t as present in the Python ecosystem as can be and hence provides libraries for others to build upon. That has worked out best for users IMHO as it’s very tough to compete with nvidia on the API front.
Recommend watching frieren. Amazing show that conveys how vital being in the moment is. And how ephemeral our moments are
