> they took two years off from feature development to release Snow Leopard with “zero new features” because things had gotten too bad

This is not an accurate characterization of Snow Leopard. See "The myth and reality of Mac OS X Snow Leopard": https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/11/5.html See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Snow_Leopard

There were many significant changes to the underlying technologies of Snow Leopard. Moreover, Snow Leopard was not, despite the common misconception, a "bug fix release". Mac OS X 10.6.0 was vastly buggier than Mac OS X 10.5.8.
