I am not so hopeful about the future of macOS given that the next CEO of Apple is a hardware guy, not a software person.

That’s one framing, here’s another:

The next CEO of Apple is someone that cares about quality. (As evidenced by how good the hardware is)

  • > The next CEO of Apple is someone that cares about quality. (As evidenced by how good the hardware is)

    I think it's important "what quality" they care about. Tim Cook cared about supply chain quality, and honestly he did an amazing job, but he didn't care much about software, vision of Apple, etc.

    • Their chips are quality and the hardware itself is still some of the best. Which is what I believe they were designed insinuating.

The current guy didn't ever once show a sign he cared about anything but 'Number Go Up'[1] so I don't see how anyone could be worse for those of us who care about the actual product than he was.

[1] to be clear, I stipulate Cook is indeed the world champion of Number Go Up. Nobody Number Goed Up more than Cook did. For Ternus to do Number Go Up to the same multiplier Cook did, I think he'd have to acquire all the other companies in the world.
