You seem very pissed off about absolutely nothing. Maybe a Mac just isn’t for you. Chill out and maybe log off for a bit

You can accurately preach best usecases all you want it falls flat before peopled experience.

I always shutdown my desktop. So did i with all my previous desktops.

Ive always shut down every windows/linux laptop i ever had.

I shut down my android tablet after use.

I owned and mainly used a MacBook pro for 5 years, i never shut it down, i never shutdown my iPhone. It was also ironically the best windows laptop i had owned at that point (in dual boot) and i always shut down when i worked in Windows, just never in macos

Apple did not tell me to do this, it is not difficult to shutdown a mac, no one told me to change what i am used to. It just somehow made the most sense so thats how i used it. And i reverted naturally when i ent back to non apple desktops. I cant explain it better then that.

This does not excuse having a power button on the bottom, thats just ridiculous. Just a hint that what your saying about downsides is irrelevant to how people realistically use it.

Asking in earnest, but why is a power button on the bottom so egregious? I’ve owned various Macbooks over the last decade and I rarely use the power button - and when I do in recent years it’s for TouchID. I leave my MBP open regularly, but have my battery settings set to automatically turn off the monitor and put the computer into sleep mode. I’m just not getting why it’s such a big deal and it’s mostly coming off as “grr apple bad, no like”
