That's not really true about InDesign being a carbon copy of PageMaker. InDesign is a lot more like QuarkXPress and Illustrator got caught in a Star Trek-style transporter accident where their DNA was merged and a single entity materialized on the transporter pad. InDesign was specifically engineered to compete with Quark - since they were discontinuing PageMaker - so it had to be somewhat approachable for Quark users.

One of the primary considerations when I bought my last car was whether it supported Apple's CarPlay. I didn't even consider a car without it – and the GM/Chevrolet Bolt was a Final Two contender (I went with a Kia). I love the integrated functionality and will not buy a car without it in the future.

GM's decision here is blatantly anti-consumer and sales will suffer, and that's good. They apparently need to learn this lesson.

The point is that they use the moon shot a LOT in their advertising, and it is not representative of what the phone is capable of doing. For example, if you tried to take a pic of some similarly-distant (or small on the sensor) object, you won't get the results the moon pics appear to promise. Essentially, Samsung has special-cased the moon by including a very detailed picture of it in the algorithm – they didn't include pictures of, say, the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty, and a picture taken from a great distance of them is still going to be a smear of interpolated goop instead of the crystal-clear quality promised in the ads.
