Great Moments in Modern Apple User Experience Design

Remember when Apple cared about the end-user experience?

After migrating to a new Mac, you're notified about every extension that exists on your machine:

For years it's been clear that Apple badly needs some top-level view for managing extensions & permissions. (The horrid System Settings redesign does not count.) This UX is just … I mean who looked at this and said, "looks good; ship it!"

And then setting aside the fact that generative AI is not good and Apple's is trash that should never have shipped, what is this UI:

I mean, seriously, a special panel in System Settings — the one with the only icon-less, multi-line name in the sidebar — announcing that an app exists and you can click this button to open it?

Though this is an overused meme, it's accurate: this would never have happened when Steve Jobs was alive.
