Why does Apple's built-in software behave weird?
One of the worst things about Apple is that they create a polished set of default apps, however, they have exotic behavior that doesn't happen on Windows, Android or Linux.
In the Photos app, you can't simply open one file to edit a photo. You have to drag and drop a photo to an app first, then you can edit it, then you need to export an edited photo back. Using all the nice features of the app requires importing the photos to the library, from which it needlessly takes up my Mac's disk space, whereas with the other tools, I can select folders where there are all my photos.
Apple Notes cripples its functionality when using a non-iCloud account and can only export them in PDF, which is just about the worst format possible. I should be able to choose Markdown, .docx or any other sane format that isn't a nightmare to be parsed by a computer.
The Calendar and Reminders apps are also less functional when I use them with my Nextcloud account. They'd like me to give up my data sovereignty into their hands.
Is anyone else also annoyed by this behavior?
