If you want me to blame "software design" then I can point to the fact that the TV app lags constantly on my M2 especially when I click the "download episode" button which should not ever be a thing on their native hardware, that there is a WindowsServer process that steadily eats up all the RAM that consistently needs to be quit in order to free up memory, that the headphone balance constantly resets to some random value where the audio comes mostly out of my left ear which has apparently been a problem for decades, that Spotlight is less than useless and STILL shows "Disk Utility" as the top result when I search "dis" instead of showing Discord an app that I open on an almost daily basis, that randomly the fingerprint login simply will not work for seconds at a time...
This is just the stuff I remember. This is a 16GB M2 Macbook Pro. Not a single native Apple made app or process should be lagging, let alone using up enough memory that sometimes apps just completely crash. Again, my windows desktop hasn't had a blue screen or a hard crash in the decade that I've used it and it had a worse configuration with 16GB of RAM and an old AMD CPU.
