Not as I read it.

It was discovered by the developer of a benchmarking program which collated
the results of thousands of tests and noticed distinct peaks in results

then did people become outraged.

Users always complain of slowdowns, but that is hugely subjective and
inverifiable.

I can see both sides of the argument. Apple were trying to extend the life
of devices' batteries with minimal impact on users, although they did it in
a slightly underhand way. They were trying to do the right thing and should
have been more transparent about it.

You are an adult.
Notice that the Apple Apologists will always claim the opposite of what a
normal adult claims.

Why?
I don't know why.

I just know that's what they do.
* Jolly Roger (who claims all truths are lies)
* nospam (who tells you only to read what Apple Marketing writes!)
* Savageduck (who can only high-five what the others claim)
* BK onRamp (who hasn't ever added one iota of technical value yet)
etc.

Bear in mind, these Apple Apologists are not normal adults so when you try
to reason with them, they try to drive you nuts will their clever
contortions.

You're seeing them work you in action as we speak.
