oh please. You are complaining about an operating system that came out almost six years ago, yet you say Apple and Nvidia should give up their spat? If that Nvidia GPU issue would of junked your machine, I’m sure you would of added it to your list. Yes apple still used Nvidia after that, it isn’t like it is a quick fix to change GPUs in everything and get all the code right. I’m very sure that the people who had their machines junked by the Nvidia GPU issue didn’t think Nvidia is the best GPU. You discount the damage caused by the GPU issue and yet hit Apple on these other issues. The keyboard issue was statistically overblown by media. Yes it still stinks when it happens to you, however it was overblown. Yes every issue hurts, including that GPU issue. Which OS doesn’t have issues? I use windows and I get crashes with Microsoft’s own apps in Windows 10. Ctrl -Alt-del and use task manager to force those apps to shutdown. They are still using 32 bit apps. Why???? I’ve been using tech for too long to whine about all the issues. Don’t like all the issues, then get rid of computers. No point being bitten about it.
I know all about the downsides of windows as I also have used it for decades, I used both platforms at home and at work for over 20 years , we stuck with apple at work because in the late 90s it was the best out of box experiences for multimedia and I defended them to both students and staff for decades , but no more, I've had enough of their stupid decisions that cost users thousands.
You can never ever change the mind of an apple fanboi,to them apple can do no wrong, I mentioned the above instances of their snafus to illustrate the shallowness of your argument, that apple will stop using an entire line of Gpus because some of their cards had issues on one occasion. If that was the case, then almost every manufacturer in the world would've constantly swopping suppliers , because they all have quality issues from time to ime.
The issue is no doubt deeper than that ( probably dues personality clashes in the upper echelons of each company ) but since apple are so secretive I expect we will never find ou the true reasons as to why they have made that particular decision. do you despute that, within the computing world , in the last decade it has been nvidia who has made the fastest and most reliable gpus ? My tech says he doesn't sell many AMD gpus due to quality issues and my rx580 dying after just under two years doesn't make me feel particularly safe with them either , but I have no other choice of brand if I continue to use apple.
Unfortunately apples choices prevent me from getting the best experiences in trainz and their choices to limit upgradabilty and ease of user repairs over the years have caused both my employers and myself to be constantly upgrading cameras,cables software, storage and a vast array of connectors which are now largely obsolete. Makes them a nice little packet tho....

The point is, they don't seem to care about other major flaws that make them look bad which they have created themselves. My g4 laptop had numerous issues with screens , didn't stop them continuing to use those screens , they inexplicably and consistently hobbled the Mac pros with a tiny selection of graphics cards ,they didn't update the Mac mini for years ( jeepers how much would it have cost to update that simple little unit ? ) and to buy a decent one costs nearly as much as an iMac, yet it still has a cruddy graphics card unless you buy an egpu and it's highly likely that these egpus will not be supported by the move to Arm, windows users on Apple probably will be affected, but as usual apple will force them to adapt to their decisions ( and Yes Microsoft also makes its own cavalier decisions but in general they don't make lots of this old computers obsolete anywhere near as regularly as apple does, my 2010 Mac Pro won't be able to be used in big sur- even tho it's still an extremely good machine, probably a user will be able to create a hack, but I'm not betting on it .)
Apple is a very strange company , as they always have put their user base last , relying on people like you who seem too find an excuse for anything that they do wrong . They make changes that seriously disrupt their user base, and people accept it blithely. I will continue to use their computers as long as I can , but their lack of upgradability, excessive prices and increasing sloppiness in executing updates is not something I'm going to make excuses for, because it can't be excused , no matter how much you attempt to do so. Even if apple doesn't want to sell na s with video cards, why prevent nvidis from releasing the drivers ? This article is most illuminating , there seems to be no technical reason , it speculates that than leadership not wanting it to happen is the main reason , very little or nothing to do with reliability , which makes sense since apples reputation would not be sullied by a few thousand pro users and gamers installing video cards , but most of these folks are really annoyed with apple and justifiably so.
