Nice, Apple keeps dragging their feet and rolling out BS alternatives and eventually the whole EU is going to kick them in the teeth.

  There are probably a few devs at Apple trying to work something out, hearing conflicting things from the attorneys ("don't worry about it, we've got this") and their manager ("my boss wants something in case they don't got this"). There's probably a bunch of hardcoded bits about it, it needs to go through QA, all while not pissing on the attorney's parade. I've been one of those devs once. It wasn't nearly as high stakes though.

    As a SWE, the liklihood of my leaving is directly correlated with the frequency of my interactions with lawyers. There is such a desparate need for lawyers with a tech background.

      Got sued once and another time I had to implement GDPR/CPRA compliant anonymization of terabytes of data. The latter involved weekly meetings with lawyers to go over the algorithms in layman's terms until we arrived at something they were happy with and felt they could defend it in court.
