I tend to think they distilled Dark Sky into their Weather app, made it dead simple to quickly get the info needed. Only real competitor for UX was/is Yahoo weather. Wunderground swallowed WSI and dropped several of their best features. 

Apps should follow the same rules as texting / calling. 

So let me get this straight, Qualcomm is betting that someone is going to switch processors, operating systems, ecosystems, all because they can’t figure out how to turn off the notifications in macOS? 

Ya know...

For someone who remembers what it took to draw a single static line on the screen on an Apple ][, this sort of thing is fundamentally amazing and also just plain amazing.  

Glad there are still new things to try with interface elements.  

Really?  This is the result of a small percentage of the human race who didn't like the ad, amplified by the "everyone run to the same side of the boat" effect that social media creates.  
I may have suggested a funnel - or some other metaphor - but in no way is Apple suggesting destroying creatives' traditional tools.  GB / Logic can still record real instruments, the art tools can still photograph and scan real things / art / etc.  I've not been to Apple Park, but in a foyer over at the old Cupertino campus there were three physical objects featured:  an enshrined Apple I board, a BMW motorcycle (Steve's old one), and a Bosendorfer grand piano (Steve bought it originally for the Mac team.)  Alan Kay's only professional affiliation was (maybe still is?) membership in a musical antiquity society (his interest in traditional pipe organs).  Apple features and applauds craftsmanship and creativity.  Tools evolve, but they never go away.  This won't kill them either.
