In the iCloud+ Features section, Manage Plan shows 200 GB. Until I click on it, and then it says that's it's on the free 5 GB plan.

WTF Apple.

Eventuallly I got in touch with Apple support, and after a little wander through the iCloud settings toggling things on and off, order was restored. But really, settings within settings within settings, it's a wonder even its designers understand it any longer.

No! The logic is always the same. Apple has very stringent design rules.
That is the biggest and most pleasant advantage of iOS/macOS over
Android and chaotic crap like Windows.

Asserting that it's pleasant to someone who has just had an unpleasant experience is willful blindness.

Earlier today, someone asked me how to put the sound settings into the menu bar - they'd disappeared in an update. Look in Sound settings, I said confidently. Oh no, too obvious. It's in Control Centre settings. Not helpful if you've never used Control Centre.
Since they reorganised Settings, I'm finding, more often than not, that I have
to use search to get to a setting. Sometimes it does feel as though the current UI designers have never used a Mac, or even acquainted themselves with
the principle of least surprise.

The Apple Style Guide as it was in the mid 2000s is long, long dead and
they just make shit up now.
And every time I go look at Windows, I'm still horrified that somehow
that is *even worse*

Whatever makes you think they do?

I think they must be randomly adding features, controls and behaviours for the
users to toggle and adjust, also randomly. It worked for evolution, over millions of years, perhaps it's the new paradigm in software development?

But evolution weeds out features that do not improve survival, so
evolved organisms are usually pretty efficient!
