The main thing for me about this release was a slight speed boost in specific tasks (like virtualization). But, TBH, it broke a few tools I built for my employer that relied on FS kexts. This has been remedied by [FUSE-T](https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/fuse-t), but it will still require me to change a lot of stuff. Primarily, I will now need to use (a) FUSE filesystems, (b) it will be slower, (c) I have to change detection of the presence of more software elements... I dunno. It's just annoying. Every release from Catalina forward has increased how locked down the OS fundamentals are, and it's annoying.
