No. It's Apple who needs to do that. This isn't a free software project - lack of documentation is an argument for abandoning the platform, not for starting a community project of doing work for Apple for free.
- pebers 9y agoI guess the problem is that Apple don't need to do it; lots of people would like them to do it, and maybe they should do it, but it's not hurting their bottom line much so they can just continue as they are. Unless a whole heap of customers suddenly decide to buy different laptops instead over it, but I'd not be betting on that.
- hobarrera 9y agoArguably, this might happen in the long run. They might slowly lose dev over the years if they neglect documentation, which will eventually hurt the app ecosystem. Eventually, that'd affect user. Very hard to say if the problem is serious enough yet though.
- dethos 9y agoIndeed, the responsibility belongs to the company that is providing the proprietary software/product. Otherwise it would send the message that good documentation shouldn't be provided because the "community" will handle it for free.
