They are a megacorp which employs actual humans who generally aren't evil. The evilness is usually an emergent behavior.
I doubt the security team is sitting there choosing not to patch this, given that they are passionate about security. And it's unlikely that management has told them "don't release the patch, we want the people on old OSs to suffer!!".
Most likely is that they just don't have as many resources for writing and testing the patch on the old versions, so it's taking longer.
- amelius 5y agoOr their security team is understaffed because of evil emergent greedy behavior of the company.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoYep this is the reason. Monterrey probably has 10X as many people on it.
- sulam 5y agoThis is probably off by a factor of 2 at least. Is if you told me that Monterrey has 5x as many users, I’d agree. Not 10X. That said, there are likely a sizable group (5%?) of customers that cannot upgrade to Monterey. Apple should be worried for these customers, too.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI was talking about developers, not users.
