Old Apple was pretty good, but they slowly chipped away at what I liked about it. Snow Leopard was peak UI and Mojave was the last I was willing to tolerate when they dropped 32 bit apps after that.
They kept cramming stuff into the OS that should have and in many cases were, handled by apps. Mainly 3rd party software. Watson is a historic example of that.

Problem is: once you’ve perfected an OS, you still have to satisfy the C-Suites egos with canges. Result: everything gets worse.
