Even when everyone is to blame, one person is to blame. That's why prime ministers resign when they can't hold together a government. That's why leaders step down.
There are tens of thousands of interface designers who would be able to make a better interface than what is Tahoe and iOS 26. One of them should have the job.
Ok why this person, not the people who hired him, not the people who could have said no?
>not the people who hired him
So if you hired a plumber to install a new faucet or whatever, and he totally fucks up (eg. floods your entire kitchen), you're saying we shouldn't blame him, we should blame... you, for hiring him in the first place?
>not the people who could have said no?
Going to the plumber example, you're saying that you should be hovering over him to catch any mistakes? Isn't the whole point of hiring a professional is that you don't have to worry about stuff like this? If you're able-bodied and are going to have to supervise the whole thing, why bother hiring someone?
If Apple as a whole is a disaster, then Tim Cook needs to be fired.
If Mac as a whole is a disaster, then whoever is responsible of that needs to be fired.
If Mac hardware is a disaster, then whoever is responsible of that needs to be fired.
If Mac software is a disaster, then whoever is responsible of that needs to be fired.
If Mac software UI design is a disaster, then whoever is responsible of that needs to be fired.
And of course the people above are responsible as well. But in this case there's a very obvious project which has failed.
