Huh? AppleTalk was, according to the headline, discontinued in 2009 if that’s the useless feature you mean. It wasn’t useless before that, but eventually TCP/IP overtook it and it was no longer practical to run two networking stacks side by side. It is very similar to Microsoft’s extensive use of IPX/SPX up through Windows XP (IIRC XP was the last to include it).
Apple certainly has its flaws, including a bug I reported many years ago in Photos that makes it useless to me, but them discontinuing an aging network protocol nearly 25 years ago seems like a weird thing for you to be upset about, so maybe I misunderstood your post.
