The reason why you should not update macOS Monterey
The reason why you should not update macOS Monterey.
It is because macOS update will cause trouble.
In case of current version "Big Sur", its update made big trouble.
So this case will cause trouble too.
About "Big Sur trouble", please read the article below.
Reference
Why does macOS update cause issue
Why does macOS update cause issue ?
Main reason is that Apple doesn't care related companies.
It is due to Apple's relationship.
Apple makes and sells their own product like iPhone or iPad.
It also makes accessories like mouse and keyboard.
Apple does not need other products in order to check Mac.
If they make new macOS, they can check it inside their office.
So Apple doesn't care others.
They don't care others. And OS is updated.
Then as we estimated, there comes a lot of trouble with third party program.
And also a lot of third party devices could not prepare driver for new OS.
So it doesn't work after update.
Like this, OS update cause big trouble.
This trouble will happen until Apple share information with third party companies.

Then how is the reputation of macOS Monterey ?
I picked up some opinions on SNS.

それにしてもmacOS Monterey、まだ2代目のARM対応OSなのにびっくりするぐらいIntel版で使えない機能多くて、これは思ってた以上にIntel Mac切り捨てられる日めちゃくちゃ早いのでは…?ってなってる

macOS MontereyのBetaで頑張ってみたけどdenoをhomebrewで入れることだけはどうしてもできなかった。他はだいたい動く

According to these opinions, some people has already tried beta version.
They found that some functions are disabled.
Still some products are not adapted to Big Sur.
So people worry about new macOS Monterey.
Finally
Today I explained out about "The reason why you should not update macOS Monterey".
The reason why you should not install it is simple.
It is because macOS update causes a lot of issues.
Third party devices or programs are not ready when macOS is updated.
Even there is beta version, it is better to check the reaction of "updated" users.
If you have not updated to Big Sur, the best timing is the day before Monterey release.
It will be autumn. So you should update before it.
By the way, there is an artcle about "Big Sur issue list".
You can read it and understand how dangerous to install new macOS just after the release.
