Most assuredly!
You are being unrealistically selfish and selfishly unrealistic, as well as petulant, in making such an issue of the loss of apps that were bundled with your iMac DV SE (DoB 2000)...apps that are of importance to possibly only you.
How about the users who are saying "Screw grelber's calendars and faxes! Where are the games Apple used to give me?" Or those who are saying "Screw the games; where are PCalc and GraphicConverter?" Or...?
Apple has given us iCal, an on-line, dynamically updating calendar database (maybe, anyhow), and the App Store as a source for anything the former two are lacking; why do you think they're obligated to do your legwork for you?
Apple has deprecated the modem, the fax means, fer chrisakes! Why on Earth do you think they're still obligated to support the fax process other than minimally?
The point being that lots of things have changed during your night in elf hill, grelber; Apple has moved on...the packaging, the perks, the hardware, the operating system, the bundled software...even the corporate outlook.
And have you stopped to consider that perhaps Apple has omitted much of its database from OS X's "Help" section as a benefit to users, i.e. because it's dynamically changing?
Do you want to have to go online every single day and d/l lord knows how much data in order to keep a zillion docs you will never look at up to date, or would you find going online every once in a while to get needed help be more cumbersome?
