I've never worked at Apple but neither have I in 10 years seen people truly appreciate any attempts I did in defensive programming. On the contrary, usually I hear - sometimes loud - complaints about that. Usually from fellow engineers when they see it but on occasions also from non technical people.
It's a joke that everybody is so sad about bad application security but at the same time virtually nobody cares about it at all when involved in an actual development project.
Classical case of NIMBY. FWIW Apple's security is far over average compared to other companies. But I guess they cannot isolate themselves 100%.
