Sure, there were/are still some bits and pieces of hardware support missing, but the overall experience rivaled or exceeded what you could get on most x86 laptops.

But then also came the entitled users. This time, it wasn’t about stealing games, it was about features. “When is Thunderbolt coming?” “Asahi is useless to me until I can use monitors over USB-C” “The battery life sucks compared to macOS” (nobody ever complained when compared to x86 laptops…) “I can’t even check my CPU temperature” (yes, I seriously got that one).

how many levels of dissonance is that?

I do get the irony, but I also do get where he's coming from about users always asking for more.

And? I want more than my parents had. I want my kids to have more than me. How do you think that is going to happen?

Making a feature request is one thing but complaining isn't helpful especially when they're working on other things. It's not like they're sitting on their asses doing nothing.
