Seems that API documentation (in this case) is not terribly important to the bottom line :)

(So why should the bother fixing it?)

This was the case on the dev side of iTunes Connect and the App Store for longer than anyone at Apple would like to admit.

It was clear for a long time that developers were not considered customers, or if they were, they were far less important ones.

Some fleeting sense of pride in one's work, I would suppose. But yeah that doesn't move those dashboards.

That only works if the pride would be induced in the one allocating developer time.
