Apple is famously a company that encourages cross functional collaboration, as anyone who’s ever interviewed there could attest to, or known more than your friend. They’re secretive yes, but also collaborative. You can even read any accounts of famous shipped products to back up that cross functional collaboration has been their culture for many decades. Jobs mentioned it many times, and many articles have been written about it. Additionally keynote (and the entire iWorks suite) has had collaborative editing for years now. I suspect your friend is likely misinformed or not reliable?
