Sure, I don’t doubt that cost cutting factors into apple’s decision making, but it really feels like they went out of their way to make the internal file system intentionally awkward. I’m not particularly inclined to just chalk it up to cost cutting when it adds up to quite a pattern of controlling users’ access to their own data, which plays right into their infamously closed ecosystem.
I’m a unix nerd. They built their OS on unix. It’s not unix anymore, but I don’t think they’re intentionally making it difficult. I had more trouble going from unix/linux to windows understanding where files were.
