I’ve never had to rollback a MacOS update or upgrade. I don’t think a lot of Windoze users can say that.

That's why I only run Windows in VMs (virtual machines). Prior to doing updates, I make a spare copy of the VM disk file. Then I run the updates. if it looks like trouble, "rollback" consists of copying the spare file back over the updated one. No fancy procedures, just a single file copy.

As it happens, I'm holding off on updating my Macs to Catalina because it removes support for all 32-bit applications and services, and I have a couple programs that aren't yet available in 64-bit versions. If I allowed my Macs to update, I'd have to roll them back.

And that's what "Time Machine" is for. :-)

I cannot speak for everyone, but I never have had to for any OS. I have MAC Catalina, Win 10, and Linux (mint) PCs and rarely have a problem with any of them. I use all of them for my job.
Either I am very lucky or I am not a whiny person who goes to forums and complains.

I’ve had to rollback Mac OS. Not an easy thing that’s why running Macs in a corporate environment is tough. Now Joe blow on the street probably has little need to roll back Mac OS update.
