Supposedly "nonsense", and yet ...

... you then repeat the exact same point about it being "smart to delay".  :-\

And many people report issues when upgrading to a brand new version of 
the OS, or any other app for that matter.

Waiting for the dust to settle is simply the more sensible option.

For example, many people with older MacBook Pros are finding that 
trying to update to Big Sur turns their laptop into a giant paperweight 
... although in *some* cases it may simply be being caused by impatient 
people 'pulling the plug' mid-update due to Apple's server issues 
causing long dealys where the computer seems to be doing nothing.
