AirPods having spatialized audio on by default is a sin and a half. The audio equivalent of 120hz smooth soap opera effects on TVs. Sensible defaults save the masses from these horrible configs that crawl the skin of those in the know.
Also why the fuck would I want my audio to shift to one ear only when I turn my head away from my iPhone? It’s such a gimmicky parlour trick (btw autocorrect changed that, when it was correctly spelled, to “parkour trick”), at least 120hz could be good for sports, theoretically.
