   I don't understand why you would want to remove well-balanced and relatively small local-inference models that ship with every mac.

   Sure, not frontier levels but fine for basic tasks and they are off-the-cloud.

      I don’t know why pro AI people have such a hard time understanding consent.

         Did you consent to every other feature of macOS, the many thousands of them?

         This has nothing to do with consent. A product you use is going in a different direction than your personal preference. Nothing new here.

            Intentionally eliminating a choice that they used to provide that many people would still like the ability to choose is not a new phenomenon, you're correct. That doesn't make it any less user hostile when it happens though, and I think plenty of people don't think "well plenty of other sucky things happen in similar ways" to be a good reason not to be upset when a new unnecessary sucky thing happens.
