Im aware of the man month, and Im aware that you cant just throw any deverlopers at any coding problem.

However I believe Apple easily has the money, developers, and ability to do this if they wanted. Look at all the other amazing things they do, anyone who argues this is hard for them is delusional IMO.

There’s a difference between working to build an amazing product that wows people, and working to fulfill mind numbing regulations created by people who couldn’t run a coffee shop. One is soul enriching, another is soul crushing. If Apple wants to torture its developers into doing soul numbing, slow moving work, I guess they can but the default response would be to not do that and give their developers more meaningful tasks that leaves them and Apple happy.
