This is likely linked to the recent YouTube changes in terms that we got a chance to read this week. I actually skimmed thru them. Looks like YouTube has been turned into a separate LLC, now controlled by Alphabet. As such they are likely looking at ways to be self-funding instead of sucking at Google's teat, and part of that is maximizing subscription profit.  As such they want to cast off Apple's 30% fee for purchases thru the Apple App Store. It's annoying to Apple product users, but straightforward from a business perspective.

Also worth noting is that the 17" can only officially support up to High Sierra.

It will run Catalina just fine using dosdude1's patch.

Yes, because the major news outlets never run news that is deliberately misleading or absurdly biased...

Painting all media outlets with one brush is rather misleading as well.

I like the way they begin with an advert for themselves. 

No, they are explaining who they are to anyone reading who might not know yet. It's prudent.

I'm sure Apple and developers will find most of the issues before its released.

Did you read the article? These aren't bugs, they are design flaws. It's not a matter of "finding" them, it's a matter of acknowledging the shortcomings of the implementation and publishing a roadmap to close them in future releases.
