The only thing that might make Apple improve their documentation is if there was evidence that people started actually abandoning Apple's platforms.

Currently it seems there is a never ending supply of developers ready to gamble years of their careers on Apples Terms & Conditions, and while these same people usually eventually realize that there's ultimately no money to be made, they are replaced with a new generation seeking an AppStore paved with gold. Until that stops, the docs will stay piss-poor.

While I have often used a Mac for development and enjoyed it, I don't often actually develop anything for macOS or iOS because, well, why would I risk my livelihood on Apple's whim? They regularly destroy developer's lives with no thought or consequence.

There is a lot of money to be made working on iOS for big corp. hell, even small startups.

You seem to allude to indie devs though, so I can agree that it would be insane to attempt to go out on your own without essentially being a startup in your own right.
