This seems like a case of inflated importance. If you want to contact engineers then you reach out to the company and see if they want to talk to you. This is like Joe Blow saying.. I have a great idea, we should change the background on Windows to rainbows... How do I get in touch with Bill Gates?

I don't disagree with your overall point, but getting feedback like this in front of the eyes of an employee who can actually assess its validity is easier said than done.

But that's exactly where the inflated importance part comes in.

Does OP really believe that no one in Apple's engineering department has ever asked "should we do anything about tracking IDs in email links?" Or that no one at Apple is able to reverse-engineer MailChimp links?
