Well the problem now is Apple would need to admit they made a mistake. And Apple does not make mistakes.

Yes, they don't ever openly admit mistakes.

But they do quietly drop or fix them, covertly acknowledging they were mistakes. Often with this messaging: "we have this new shiny thing that is even better than the old shiny thing (that was really a turd)".

Remember "garbage collection"? Or "modern syntax"? Or CocoaJava?

And with hardware they had their "come to Jesus" moment a while ago. And then hit it out of the ballpark with Apple Silicon.

The one for software is still upcoming.

SwiftUI is too big to silently drop. It is too difficult to silently fix.

So the only way out is something new again.

Happy to rename my stuff "Objective-Swift" :-)
