Apple doesn’t care. Look at how bad iTunes or iCloud or whatever is. Especially on windows. Their software is terrible. They focus mostly on what makes money. And the support is non existent. All you can do is shout in the forums but some Apple apologist will respond rudely or with some unhelpful generic tips that do nothing.
A while back I listlened to a podcast where Ted Bendixson talked about what a nightmare trying to build for IOS outside XCode was (he did a write up about it here https://tedbendixson.substack.com/p/the-horror-of-making-you...). At the time I assumed it was malicious on Apple's part, "we want you working in our ecosystem and if you won't we are going to make it absolutely miserable". After reading this maybe it really was just incompetence.
