Apple makes things insanely opaque at times too: I hate to admit it, but I cursed Apple for years for removing the search function from iOS (which used to be predictably located in the left-of-home desktop/icon pane). It was literally several years after the change before I accidentally swiped down from the middle of the home screen (who the hell thought that was a reasonable control?) and discovered that search wasn't gone, it was just so well-hidden that it took years to accidentally stumble across it.
(This wasn't helped by Apple's opinionated approach to UI design, which led me to believe that in their minds, removing search functionality was exactly in line with Ives, et al's then-new "flat" design philosophy of form trumping function. FWIW, finding text on a web page in Safari is another UI abortion...)
