The recently-released iTunes 12.7 removes access to the iOS app store, as well as management of iOS apps. This is bad on any number of fronts; here are just a few things that bother me about it…

Mac OS X breaks it at some places (as do many other UNIX variants) but most systems respect it. The FHS defines the /usr/local as the 'tertiary hierarchy for local data installed by the system administrator', which basically means that it is the safe, standard place for you to put your own custom compiled programs there.

But for this time, I had had a trouble on install: The installer erased all the startup items, and when I logged the Mac session after installing, Ittec was the only stuff in my startup items folder.

- Migrating installed apps to a new device will now require you download all of them from the iOS device itself. This will be slow, and if you have capped internet, eat into your bandwidth. In my case, my iPhone holds 248 apps. So I'll have the joy of waiting for 248 apps to download over the internet? And, heaven forbid, if I have issues as I did with my iPhone 6, I'll get to do that over and over and over…
- You can't organize your apps in iTunes any more, only on your iOS device. If you have a lot of apps, this is perhaps the most painful task to do on an iPhone—dragging icon by icon, across screen after screen. Ugh. iTunes
offersoffered a much better method…But no longer, because Apple knows better, right?
- Developers, I think, will hate this change. Why? Because not only can users not browse apps in iTunes, they can't purchase apps on a Mac or a PC at all! I spend all day at my desk, on my Mac. When I read about an interesting iOS app, I can see its web page, and then jump right into iTunes and buy it. But as Kirk McElhearn notes, this is no longer possible (temporary issue, maybe?). As a developer, losing access to anyone browsing from a non-iOS device would be deeply troubling.

But the above issues are only part of the reason why the removal of iOS apps from iTunes bothers me. An equally concerting issue is this: Browsing and buying apps on an iPhone is an absolutely horrid experience.
There's just no comparison; using a Mac (or PC or anything with an actual full-sized display) and iTunes is a much better experience.
Here's a quick demonstration; let's say I'm interested in soccer stuff in the App Store, so I search on soccer. First, let's do that on the iPhone, and then look at some of the results…
On my screen, I can see one ad, one full game, and part of the title of a second. Let's be generous, and give the iPhone credit for showing three matches for my search, including the ad. If I want to see more, I have to scroll…and scroll…and scroll, with roughly 1.5 apps visible per scroll.
Now let's run the same search on my iMac, with the iTunes window set a bit smaller than I normally leave it…
In that view, there are nine iPhone apps…but also nine iPad and iMessage apps, and close to full icons for nine Apple Watch apps. That's 36 results, and each category has a See All link to let me see all of the matches in one spot.
Now let's tap into one of the apps on the iPHone…
I can see some summary game info at the top, the editor's notes, and a bit of the first graphic/movie. But that's it. Now on the Mac…
Program info, two full graphics and part of a third, editor's notes, desscription, part of what's new, and the top in-app purchases, plus links, including one to the developer's web site. I love the money mac os. The advantages of the big screen are really obvious when looking at one app.
And none of this gets into the advantages of a true multi-window capable OS—I can easily open the web site for any of the apps, use a browser window to search for reviews outside the App Store, open Mail to forward a link to a friend, etc.
In short, the shopping experience for iOS apps is so much better on a Mac (or PC) that there's no comparison: I'll use the Mac every time. The rare instances I buy directly on my iPhone are when I happen to be away from my desk and I know exactly what I want to buy—so I don't need to search for it, nor do I need to research the app before purchasing. Beyond that, though, I'll wait and search/research from my Mac.
I'm hoping we'll soon see an integrated 'All App Stores' app from Apple, but I seriously doubt that's the case. They clearly know best, so we're stuck with an iOS-centric approach from here on out. Golf on mars (itch) mac os. Sigh.
