> I'd say they very much on purpose disregard gaming as a use case

Considering they made Metal, and the Game Porting Toolkit, and Game Center, and specific tabs for games in the App Stores, and Apple Arcade, and added native support for game controllers, and have dedicated sections of their keynotes to gaming, it is pretty clear they don’t disregard gaming as a use case. Tim Cook’s Apple is bad in a lot of ways, but it isn’t that stupid to ignore that lucrative of a market which fell on their lap.

What you mean is they’re not embracing gaming the way you want. Which is fine to complain about, I also would prefer a different approach, but saying they’re purposely disregarding gaming does not align with reality.

Yes. And I consider it disregarding when it comes to the needs of gamers (or users in general really). Apple's approach is always shoving in their users' faces "that's the way to do it". As I said, it's a major reason to completely stay away from them.
