I don't know enough about the culture at Apple, but maybe they're going for a sort of "this is a team effort"? Kinda like the story of JFK asking a janitor at NASA what he does, promoting the answer "I'm putting a man on the moon".
I'm somewhat sceptical that such a policy is better than what's usually practiced, but I can imagine that it may be legitimate under the right circumstances.
- Nuance 9y agoI imagine their reasoning is similar to The Economist's for having anonymous bylines: "The main reason for anonymity, however, is a belief that what is written is more important than who writes it. In the words of Geoffrey Crowther, our editor from 1938 to 1956, anonymity keeps the editor 'not the master but the servant of something far greater than himself…it gives to the paper an astonishing momentum of thought and principle.'" https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/09/economist-explains-itself-1 https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/09/e...
