To be fair they did move to a completely different CPU architecture and ARM is a hit or miss in gaming. Some games are fine, but then there are ones like Minecraft that ran better on my 10 year old Intel than on a top of the line M processor
Is moving to ARM architecture anti-user? They easily accomplished the (correct me if I’m wrong) best energy efficiency between all available laptops in the market. Granted, it was never marketed for gaming.

I don’t think Apple doing typical hostile anti-user Apple shit is a “to be fair” moment.

Yes it’s anti-user because
1: they seem to have broken compatibility with a lot of existing software
2: they just use the efficiency improvements to make shit thinner.
Okay, so
Rosetta 2 largely fixed that, for whereever it was feasible to fix. It came out as soon as ARM Macbooks did.
They actually made their shit thicker. The M1 Pro/Max MBP is thicker than the 2016+ Intel ones were.
I had an M1 Air, the battery lasted like 20 hours. Most I’ve gotten off any non-Apple laptop has been 6-7.
