Apple can't hire enough devs.

I told an SWE friend of mine at Apple that I wouldn't mind working there - then he explained to me how restrictive it is to work at Apple (e.g. you have to close your GitHub account, you can't do any moonlighting or FOSS contributions: even on your own time, on your own hardware, while on vacation) - I can't work at a place that wants to exert that much control over my personal life. I get that secrecy is part of being an Apple, but it feels the same as how I thought it'd be cool to work for the FBI's infosec team before I learned that they have mandatory regular drug-testing even for employees in states where cannabis is legal.

That's crazy and stupid, no argument about that. But even if they refuse to change that culture (which they should) they could still 'fix' that problem by throwing more money at it, everybody has their price.

Apple decided to not hire more.

Apple Inc. has massive profits and they apparently decided that frameworks are good enough and it is not worth to pay more (both in cash - and also indirectly, by less hostile requirements).

I don't think self-choosen restrictions are really a "can't hire" reason.
