You missed out the punchline: all of this follows from that the software is
proprietary/closed-source/non-Free.
You can't see how it works, you can't change how it works, and you have to
trust that it does as advertised. You must do all this in the knowledge that
over the years plenty of proprietary software vendors have outright lied to
their customers about exactly this kind of thing, e.g. [0][1].
I'm not aware of Apple ever doing so though, for what that's worth.
