doesn’t have the track record of totally redoing their entire OS in the course of a single OS generation

I have a grandparent who’s been on macOS for a long time and would complain whenever they changed something. Usually not the whole OS, but something like the Photos app, which they completely redid like 7 years ago or something.

Also macOS is currently headed in the direction of merging with iPadOS, but they are making that change gradual.
