What you should think about is the fact that one of the early Unix

 Of course he did. What else would he want to use? There were Unix
workstations available all through the decades until Windows NT killed
them off.
 

"Sort of born into" Apple is bs.  Even if he started with Apple from the
beginning - mid-to-late 70s - he was already 30-35 years old.  I wish he
was more specific on what bothers him about Apple.

 Not obvious to you? It’s obvious to me, and I was using Apple Macs from
just about the beginning of that product line, until the switch to OS X.
 Maybe you need to have the same experience to understand it.

Ken Thompson makes an extremely vague, meaningless claim about Apple, then you lie that "it's obvious to me" when he didn't say what the problem was?
"should allow you to work" implies you can no longer work with an Apple computer running macOS.  Absurd.
