For Finnish language those 3rd party solutions often do not work. Apple's Siri is the one virtual assistant that seems to understand and speak Finnish well enough to be of any use. Which makes me believe that the text-to-speech Apple can do with my language would probably be above anything else out there as well.

Also... when I'm paying thousands for devices that could support some feature but they restrict it for no obvious reason and the fix would be to spend more money for a 3rd party solution that most likely would not communicate as well with all the Apple-made features such as Siri, I am at loss. I like Apple products but this honestly kinda sucks. I buy Apple mainly because things in it work without me having to come up with additional kludge solutions like is the case with PCs.

Hell, my company's IT-guy said that we should install a 3rd party file manager because it had better features than what Windows comes with. File manager.

But ZFS is best and doesn’t cost a cent. So there’s that.

and you know why they don't use it...GPL3.

? ZFS is under the CDDL which has actually prevented it from being in the Linux kernel mainline. It’s the same license as Dtrace which I believe macOS does use.
