I disagree with your take on that we should show all information to all users. It’s not always the case that they have someone on hand to help, and users do get anxiety when they do not understand or are presented with too many options. But what macOS should be giving is the full-fat answers and UI is asked for.
The rest of your comment I can’t argue against at all.
I'm not saying all information all the time. But when something fails, tell the user. Don't lie to them, saying "Everything's working fine!"
And if you don't show further details up front, provide the user a means to dig them up if he desires to do so. Otherwise, what is he supposed to do?
