None, it's just that they haven't bothered adding a check for them. This isn't necessarily an indictment of them. It make sense in hindsight, but between sprints, OKRs/KPIs, and promotion packets, it's easy to let non-sexy functionality like these slip through the cracks.

It's distressing and sad that we've come to expect so little from the trillion-dollar market cap companies to which we are beholden to participate in modernity.
It's not as alarming if we just reframe it. Apple's software is written by developers, like many HN readers, and they follow similar interal processes. There is nothing inherent about having a large market cap that makes everyone involved superhuman. Some issues always slip through the cracks.

I'm surprised to see this comment on HN where many readers see how the sausage is made. There's no secret sauce, no matter how far up in FAANG/MANGA you get.
