Me personally, I've had less issues with iOS 11 than with previous iterations and I'm happy overall with wit iOS 11.

Is the data (say, normalized number of issued bugs) really showing a decrease in reliability of iOS over time or rather the contrary?

Not an Apple evangelist here, but it would be good to be fair.

Let's please remember that often a few loud voices are just that, loud, but few.

iOS 11 is by far the buggiest iOS release in my experience. I have multiple devices and I held off as long as I could to upgrade my main device after seeing the myriad of bugs on my other devices. They broke the touch screen. Even clicking on buttons isn’t reliable anymore, never mind the keyboard issues. Speaking of which, they also broke the keyboard in iOS 11. Typing is almost as bad as old Android.

IMO, it all went downhill after the “flat” iOS 7 release. It was unstable beta software then, and it’s still unstable beta software now. Apple would rather add Animoji than fix these long standing iOS 7 bugs.

What keyboard issues? The symptoms described sound like a hardware problem.

Not the poster you replied to, but the keyboard is ridiculously slow sometimes. It can take a second or so for letters to echo until the keyboard code warms up its cache, or whatever it’s doing immediately after it is displayed.

I’ve also noticed that I sometimes have to click the fingerprint sensor 4-5 times to get the pin screen to display. Clicking works reliably once the phone is unlocked.

They definitely broke the touch screen on iPhone X, at least during winter weather. They had a point release of iOS where that was one of the headline bug fixes.

This is rare but it also goes back to the earliest iOS releases. Once background apps became possible swapping became common, especially since most people just enable it for every app which asks.

This also sounds like memory pressure. It doesn’t happen normally even old older hardware.

Everyone i know who's an iOS developper noticed the same thing about iOS11. But you're right in the sense that every new release (at least since iOS 7) brings its share of bugs and slowdowns. Which isn't a reason not to be angry..
