The other ongoing criticism is "well actually, iTunes was always bad".
No, it wasn't. When it was released it was _way_ better than any other jukebox sofware.
You could actually find stuff easily, manage playlists super quick. It ripped CDs, including getting track titles and managing files, with literally _no clicks required_.
Burning CDs took like two clicks.
While admittedly lock-in, it would sync your iPod with no clicks after dropping it in the iPod dock. And it was super fast. (Other manufacturers didn't have anything close to this convenient).
Other jukebox software didn't do any of this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still can't believe that Apple, a true pioneer of online Music Stores and Jukebox software and user interface design shipped this.
This is an actual screenshot of Apple Music on the Mac.
It's an empty box. The volume controls need an extra click. It doesn't show me elapsed and remaining time.
This is stuff that my CD player in the 80s did better.

"That said, let’s say that I’m happy to accept that the new diet impacted the gut microbiome differently than the FODMAP diet. Well…who cares!? In the world of clinical trials of medicines, where there are standards, we would call this a surrogate outcome (at best)."
