As someone who’s worked in a role supporting a high ratio of people to developers in animation production, I often wonder how much of the radar black holeness is just a ratio issue. Afaik Apple runs really small teams versus other companies. I know when I once interviewed around FAANG, the Apple teams were significantly smaller (like 5x smaller in some cases…probably also why they aren’t part of this mass tech layoffs). I used to find in my old film job that no matter how much I churned through tickets , there was just no getting out from the stigma of being unresponsive because the person on the other end of the ticket can’t see what your workload and priorities are like. That’s not to say Apple isn’t at fault for having small teams, but I think a lot of people assume the engineers themselves don’t care to fix stuff. Though at least in my case, I could tell my users that I was working on stuff and to expect it at some time in the future. I assume Apple’s engineers are even more hamstrung by their extreme secrecy. I know the few feedback radars I’ve gotten responses from were basically “can reproduce” to “fixed in the latest OS release” without any feedback in between. anyway all that is to say, I often see people blame the engineers (you didn’t but I see others do) whereas I think it’s a corporate culture issue that engineers are beholden to.
