Review says: I was formerly the Senior Director of Applications product marketing at Apple. I was there for 10 years. I can't even begin to fathom how far Apple has fallen with this absolute travesty. I need to pay to remove ads in Apple software? I need to pay for Final Cut in order to use Numbers without ads? don't get me started on the Liquid Glass stuff, but lets put that aside as something that I need to get used to. Adware in an Apple product is an absolute travesty. I have a hard time imagining that Steve would have been okay with this. What's worse is that they ignored pages of feature requests / bug fixes / updates and took valuable engineering time to put ads in the product instead of giving loyal, daily users of Keynote a feature or two that they've been asking for. This feels like the death of Apple. Something is definitely rotten in the state of Cupertino. I'm not angry, I'm just sad. I always put Apple on a pedestal, and foolishly I expected better.

Friend: Is cheesecake pie? Ben: No. But cheesecake is toast or quiche depending on the crust Pie is quiche. (https://cuberule.com/) So cheesecake and pie can be in the same equivalence class but cheesecake is not pie. Since they aren’t always in the same equivalence class one cannot be said to be a kind of the other.
