I agree. The AppleScript/Apple Event Manager thing is an example of treating macOS like a second class citizen in the ongoing iOS-fication of the Apple Ecosystem. The point of macOS for me is that it's simple to use for most beginners but allows more advanced users to add complexity through tools like Apple Script and Automator and the underlying Unix base.
Like you say, an MCP server integrated with AppleScript/Apple Event Manager would instantly hook up any LLM with virtually all Mac apps. More Mac devs will then be incentivized to support these features. For people who find AppleScript un-intuitive, JavaScript is also supported. And in my view, this is a revolutionary way to use my computer - a very Star Trek way of using the computer.
