The most effective way would be for Apple to actually seek feedback on requirements and then actually implement public APIs for functionality that people need.

That's confusing "consensus building" with "effective". Killing a private api is pretty effective. And consensus building doesn't always build the best software.

I think the consensus sought here is narrow enough.
