I'll be staying on Mojave for as long as it's supported. My 32-bit apps are important to me; Apple Arcade, less so.
I find it funny that Apple (AND Google AND just about everyone else) thinks "the cloud" solves all our problems. Right now, I'm sitting in a hotel room with internet access - but for most the last 100 miles I traversed to get here, my phone consistently showed "no service".
Not much I like about iTunes. I might change my "tune" when I upgrade to Catalina here shortly....as in, in an hour or so.
Like Microsoft Word, it peaked a long time ago and it just got worse and worse with every passing version as they bloated it down with more and more shit that no one ever asked for, until the point where it became virtually unusable - while simultaneously not adding functionality that would have been really useful...you know...like, uh, just mount my device's file system to the desktop like a fucking hard drive? You know, like that?
I bought an ipod many years ago and expected it to work like that. Once I found out that it didn't, and I started tinkering with iTunes, that piece of shit went back in the package and back to Wal Mart. My Apple music experience lasted about one hour. One restriction and imposed requirement after another.

Anyway....there you go.
Why do you think that would actually be easier for most "normals"? It has been shown time and again that most regular users don't really "get" hierarchical file systems.
"Everyone" is simply not the plural form of "you".
The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to
the left.
