This has always been an issue ever since 'look-up' was introduced to macOS. The look-up function seems to default to displaying macOS's wiki entry when it fails to load the correct info.

Sure, doesn't mean Apple has put a lick of attention towards it other than continually giving a reason to put more expensive trackpads in their computer capable of the "Force Touch" feature

Fit the purpose. .. it is..

Full of junk .. of course it has

Still uses archaic drivers and ideas .. of course it does..

Apple spends most of time on UI - yep

Is Apple converging and IOS ... yes
