We are speaking about the most rich company in the world. You'd think they'd have the resources to fix their shit. Vorwerk probably got fed up with it too and decided to fix it themselfs.

This is not a good look for Apple IMO. I completely dropped iOS support for an app I made because it used SVG's and clogged up every iPhone. It's a serious issue.

You assume, incorrectly, that having money and other resources means you can snap your fingers and immediately hire the right person with the right skills to solve any arbitrary problem you might have.

The world just doesn't work that way. There's a shortage of talent out there, and they often don't want to work for the richest players.

Not just “you might have” but “other companies using OSS software whose development you financially support might have”.

If faster SVG graphics were an impediment to Apple’s business it would likely have been prioritised and fixed by them.

One person's "fix their shit" is another person's "feature bloat."

I assume Apple didn't implement this change in-house because they don't need higher-performance SVG rendering.
