> Overall it's very interesting to see Apple invest so significantly in something that will benefit relatively few users

Apple has been doing this for decades with heavy investment into assistive technology, far better than other platforms.



I was mucking about on my Mac the other day playing with the accessibility settings and came across this: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlb2d4782b/... - s system that lets you move the mouse with movements of your head as picked up by the web cam. Woks very. Scrunch nose to click etc.


Looking at you Google. The only things they make is to spy more


ChromeOS is among the most secure "daily-driver" operating system and has been for years.


It's designed to make a computer secure against even physical access to the hardware. Because ChromeOS systems are often used as work or school machines, and need to be 100% completely owned by the institution and immune to the actual user.


Apple isn’t much better. They just have better marketing.


Marginally better privacy, waaaaaaay better marketing.

Which is funny because google is the advertising company.


Google has great advertising - they are just not marketing TO you like Apple is :-D


very good point!


I mean, to be fair, Google grew up just trying to get us to click on things. Apple had to convince people to part with sums of money for lumps of metal and plastic with lightning in them.

Apple probably had a bigger budget for that sort of thing from the beginning, thus creating a proper culture. Google, probably not so much.
