My tinfoil hat theory is they allow the jailbreaking scene to persist instead of shoring up holes within a second of each jailbreak's release because they poach tweak ideas. When looking at the overlap between popular early jailbreak tweaks and features that were added to iOS over the years, this really doesn't seem farfetched.

The Apple of today does fix holes as soon as they can. But they don't really need to steal jailbreak tweaks anymore to figure out that people want to be able to change their homescreens…

There was a lot more than that which was copied, honestly. Notification center. Control center. Widgets. Low power mode. Notifications where you can reply in line. Probably hundreds more tiny quality of life things too that have made their way into iOS over the years that were first seen on cydia. Here's a list of 60 of them at least (2018):

Oh, I 100% agree, I'm just saying Apple may not see it that way anymore.
