No doubt it will be unusual by me, just as Apple Keychain is.  I refuse to enable stupid 2FA, so I can't use Keychain.  However, I can use 1Password (an older version that has no absurd subscription attached to it).  Since 1Password still works for me, it largely doesn't matter what Apple does, but I would prefer to obliteration of 2FA at some point in the future.  I refuse to be possibly locked out of a particular device only because I don't have the means (device or others) for that 2FA to work.  Passwords are enough for me, regardless of what the 2FA worshippers and security experts have to say.  I want control to do as I please.  2FA takes some of my freedom away, and I don't like that.

Right there with you. 1Password, no subscription for me either! I'm not paying for the same software for the rest of my life.

So you store all your passwords in an app that doesn’t get security updates? What could possibly go wrong?

The quote that resonated with me from the WSJ article is that Apple can do pretty much anything they set their minds to. I think that really is the bottom line. Apple has competent management, smart employees, and practically limitless financial resources. When you have those things, you can do just about anything (within the laws of physics)

Competent management wouldn't have let Siri languish for a decade or spent $1 billion a year on a failed car project.  The state of Vision Pro is still up in the air.  Competent management would have also invested whatever it takes to have their own in-house LLM to power Siri and have their own AI datacenter infrastructure ready to go by now.  Apple saw the potential of technologies like Siri when they acquired it over a decade ago.  They should leaders in this field at this point.  Instead, it's OpenAI, Microsoft and Nvidia stealing the limelight.
