Apple does have massive resources. They're one of the highest revenue companies in the world, and have way better margins than most of the higher companies in the list.
At least in the Steve Job days, they'd spin up three teams to make a 1.0 product, unbeknownst to the teams, and only ship from and keep the team that did the best.
These examples like the iTunes thing you list are them not caring, rather them not having the resources to get to it.
- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> Apple does have massive resources. I don't think the GP disagrees with you. The GP is saying Apple doesn't use those resources.
- simondotau 6y agoMore precisely, I'm saying that Apple appears to suck at massively parallel use of their resources. For a company as big as they are, their cumulative output of high quality product isn't all that much. It seems they can barely keep macOS cobbled together now, let alone spin up groups tasked with shepherding individual components towards open source.
