In China and Hong Kong if you're famous, you support everything CCP does. Because if you don't, you're not famous at best and missing at worst.

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.

Me VS how I see myself in the mirror.

This is misleading. The models mentioned won't get the latest MacOS update, true, but they will be supported. My older 2016 MBP is stuck on BigSur or something, but gets security updates regularly and doesn't have any incompatibilities so far. I could probably force update it if I wanted to. Apple is known for supporting their devices for longer than other manufacturers.

Apple devices have enough legit reasons for criticism, no need to make up new ones.

Urine isn't sterile, but as long as you like the taste, I guess.

Well, I suppose it makes sense that it doesn't apply to everyone, but my guess is that the majority can still see the fox.
Either way, the simplification of modern logos is a necessity, because they are used in small UI elements, often even appearing monochrome. At which point they still need to be recognizable. Whether they are simplified in a good or bad way, is subjective though.
