Is the writer even aware that Apple first introduced widgets in 1984 as "Desk Accessories"? This isn't an iOS thing that carried over to the Mac; it's a Mac thing that went through a lot of iterations over the years, migrated to iOS, and then came back to the Mac in a form that's almost exactly the same as when they were originally introduced decades ago.
I remember seeing Dashboard and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.
