Apple has been conservative for a long time. Their near death is still ingrained in the company [1]. It also wasn't long ago that people were giving Apple hard time for not hiring more. [1] I was an partner in a company that nearly died, but was able to pull through and eventually do well/get acquired. Ultra conservative around hiring is a bias I know I still carry with me from the experience.
