Actually with 10.3 you can: https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/24/apple-will-let-developers-rep...
haha, I knew that "actually..." was coming. I deserved that.
Whether our customers will be mollified by me replying "Actually, it's Apple's fault, you see..." remains to be seen. It has not been my experience that they're real forgiving of that kind of thing. I've been through this before.
My white knuckle grip on my chair is loosening a little though-- we might get through this bit of turbulence ok. Knock on wood. ;)
Presumably you've been testing your app during the beta phase?
Apps. Nearly twenty, maybe more, I lost count. And no-- I actually wasn't expecting a filesystem switcheroo in a point release. Surprise!

That deals with responding to reviews of your app, not an ability to leave a review for iOS itself. Either way, I don't think the average consumer will understand that they've lost data because of a bug in a new filesystem.
And if you are an app with appreciable market share and something goes wrong, I doubt one would be able to mitigate a crush of negative reviews.
If you're an app with a large marketshare, the responsible thing would be to do testing with the betas to search out potential bugs.
Doesn't cover all instances, but should help with any MAJOR bugs that would come up.
But you can absolutely throw a brick through my front window.
