I’ve been on macOS since the Windows XP era and never in my life has the OS broken after a software update.

Come to think of it, same goes with iOS. I’ve been on iOS since the iPhone 4.

    Probably also comes down to not many softwares deciding to fuck with system files.
    Recently had a borked Win7 -> Win10 install that was unable to keep the Win11 upgrade stable.
    After an update and reboot it stopped working.

    Probable reason why: Some McAfee drive encryption driver embedded in the system files.
    The drive wasnt encrypted. All files were externally readable by our backup software.
    But removing the files from system32 borked the system and resulted in BSODs.

    Is it this invasive on the mac side?
