It’s the same as in macOS, which hasn’t been good for years. Is it not just Samba? Did they write their own implementation of SMB?

No idea on implementation, good point that it's possibly reused code from macOS. But if various iOS apps have stable SMB clients, surely Apple can afford one? There's a possible business conflict between Apple's high prices for internal flash storage and their support for external storage.

Don’t forget Apple’s other conflict of interest: paid iCloud storage.

True, especially with the new Services bundles.
