Why must we deauthorize all of the computers, when I only wish to deauthorize one and I know which one it is?

What a dorky waist of my time!

In looks to me like apple hasn't focused resources on this issue and chose a solution that was easier for the company than the consumer.

Plan to charge for this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

No one could know their plans unless they announce.

There is no list of authorized computers to choose from. You can de authorize a computer from that computer, but not from another computer.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but if it is to you, then leave feedback for Apple.

I only wish to deauthorize one and I know which one it is?

Go to that computer, find the Store menu and use the command Deauthorize This Computer..., as shown.
