letβs face the reality that they serve billions daily with their ios app (i know that first hand) - what I think is very broken is that the instances where they fall short takes centuries to get to the team that proactively can fix it (and they are good at their job!) and when it gets there they have already moved on another version in 78 languages and thought with teeth in the process with the apple review team nonsense rejection process
