Honestly, I just don't see it. Not because the problems aren't real, but because it's always been like this.
What has changed is the importance of the Apple's software. When it was a minority player that offered advantages over the status quo, we overlooked the issues.
Now that it is the status quo, we are no longer comparing it to anything else, but to an ideal - as we should be.
I think the idea that there is a decline is false, but the increasing criticism and demand for quality is absolutely appropriate, since it is absolutely Apple's responsibility to improve our experience of their products.
