What? A multibilion corporation does not listen to user feedback on GitHub? That's so crazy and unusual. Take some lessons from Google here, when users complained on quality of software and bugs in it, Google just archived OSS repos and moved development to private repo. Opensource and issues on repos are close to worthless (sometimes somebody else in comments will find a solution or work on a fork, but that's it), might as well be not available at all.

The Chrome team must be an exception then, my bug reports there usually get prompt feedback, and when those were actual problems they also get fixed in time (sometimes it takes months, but that's typical for large projects). Apple on the other hand is just a black hole for bug reports, you never hear anything back.
It's like the Chrome team realizes it actually has users. Many other software projects I've witnessed seem to think they just throw their stuff into the void and nobody will care.
