I won't touch a device with Google services so doesn't really matter to me yet I find these excuses exceedingly lame. Everything is ALWAYS for your own security. The Google play store is an absolute cesspit of everything must be free malware.
Personally I always use adb install to install apps on my phone. So much easier and faster than screwing around with tiny screens and on screen keyboards. Also not having to deal with automatic updates that randomly break shit intentionally or otherwise is priceless.
How is ADB easier? Every Android device I've ever sideloaded on is as simple as opening the
What on Earth are you on about? MacOS has better scaling than any other OS out there.
I tried using a Mac from my TV recently. The only way to make the interface larger so that I can comfortably read it from a distance is to turn down the resolution. Why????? There is a hacky way to force the TV as a retina display, but MacOS just 2x scales the whole interface on retina displays which is way too big for my TV's lower resolution. Both Windows and most Linux desktops have true fractional scaling, in fact Windows high DPI scaling has gotten quite decent recently. When I set my scaling to 125% in Windows on a 1080p monitor, it doesn't just set the resolution to 900p or something, it actually scales up the size of UI elements to make the interface bigger. Yes, some programs don't understand high DPI scaling and become blurry, but day to day I rarely encounter any software with this issue. All of my most frequently used programs handle high DPI displays just fine. MacOS appears to have no equivalent to this behaviour. Even with a retina display, the interface scaling options are just changing the resolution of the display. They just don't label it as such. Unless you leave the scaling at default, everything becomes a bit softer and blurrier whenever you use any scaling options on MacOS and it sucks.
