This is because a Mac is basically a giant iPad with a keyboard. Everything is abstracted away, so if you're actually a computer person and try and take command of what's going on, the giant iPad will say "no you can't do that" constantly
It feels like trying to drive a car with no steering wheel or pedals, and you're expected to vibe your way through it with an overly helpful touchscreen interface running interference. Like just please God just give me the steering wheel
This just isn’t true. How much experience do you have using Mac’s and iPads? They are wildly different.
