This just enforces why I purchase physical media and purchase digital items (and have no-DRM backups, if possible) and not rent or stream them. Internet goes out, Apple or someone else goes down, no problem.

Apple hasn't written a decent app since Jobs left.. All they do is chop apps up and remove features. Not a single new app in over a decade that spawned any type of creative juice in the user. Remember when apple used to make new software and demo it at their keynotes. People woudl be all excited to get home and play with new features and create new things. Now, I can't even search my music library without having to manually hit option+cmd+f each time I manually have to click into the song list. That's if I am lucky to get out of the nested Apple Music search tool in the top right that only works if you are in the root of the search tree and clicked into he manual tab to be in "your library". What a hot load of garbage apple is now for UI and creativity.

What I like about Apple TV+ is that Apple seems to finish what they start, shows don't get cancelled without their stories being resolved. It disrespects our time when a streamer hypes up a show then cancels it before it ends.
