Why write such long winded post after considering the above quotes? In the end non of the considerations around work/personal apple id, MDM, etc matters when decisions are made purely on some brand persuasion. That's why Apple doesn't care

For the record, I did not return my (4x cheaper) iPad. I didn’t ever buy a Vision Pro. Because of the Apple ID issue. I’m trying to convince Apple that they should care because they lost a sale.

I do not recall any example of Apple overtly listening to customers unless pressed by class action. That's the irony of this feedback post. Apple is just not an org that takes direct customer feedback (like you've noticed from their "you're holding it wrong" debacle).

Also, they've probably done the maths and knowing their "loyal" customer base people would be more than happy to pay for multiple redundant devices just to have them seamlessly work together. They are in business of selling premium devices to people who have low sensitivity to price and cost
