Garbage collection

I like the MacOS memory leaks. I can imagine an operating system using garbage collection along with safe manual memory management, think of Ada; most subsystems could have no issues, and the few which do would be handled by the garbage collector, and then fixing those issues becomes a matter of improving efficiency, not correcting flaws which bring down the entire machine.

If they had used a decent language, and so not the C language, they could've easily added this. Now, some could retort that Apple, a mere large multi-national corporation, can't possibly be expected to have decent programmers, and so the memory leaks are their fault, but that's just more reason to have an automatic system which prevents the errors.

Some don't understand computers exist to automate work, however, and instead think they exist so they may appear cool to other people, and they smirk with their incomprehensible and arcane software; such people are despicable after a point.
