I do trust apple over a hundred different developers with random practices.

I found out not long ago that a tool I was using had no hygiene practices at all - they grabbed random versions of things they packaged up, had no meaningful audit trail at all, no means to notify (or even awareness that this might be a consideration) essentially no meaningful code review and so on. I noted this because I was investigating a bug for the project and gradually the reality became clear.

At the very least, Apple is one step above mayhem and negligence.

McDonald's food never makes me sick. One time I went to a different restaurant, and I found out that they had no hygiene practices at all. At least McDonald's is one step above mayhem, and it therefore is where I eat all my dinners.
That's the wrong analogy. The right analogy is Apple is acting as a restaurant inspector. They may miss a lot, but they accomplish _something_.
