Serious question, where is the effort going on each of these annual OS releases? I truly don't know, probably out of ignorance. Comparability with new HW? Supporting new file formats? As far as I can tell the headline feature of the latest MacOS is a screensaver with very large file sizes. Perhaps Apple and its many developers efforts would be better employed updating these essential tools and QA of the same.

There’s tons of things that are new in every OS version

The consumer facing site shows consumer facing features. Hence why you’d see things like screensavers and video effects highlighted.

The developer side features are documented on videos released at WWDC each year. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=cj1fjit2
