It's as if Apple's purpose is a "don't make me think" level of end user experience and trust, and their assumption is engineers will need to invest extra effort to enable that priority. It's not just Apple. Developer-experience focused web frameworks make one time creation easier, at the expense of users who run it every time. The priority is upside down. Thankfully, for hardware, wallet-share shows there's money to be made from giving users a curated experience at the cost of nominal incremental developer effort. And the resurgence of SSR (new old hotness?) shows the same can hold true on the tech stack.
