The biggest issue with the author is that he complains both about the controlling/locked down nature of Apple’s platforms and about any bugs that show up in that system.

I.e. His goal is to criticize Apple no matter what they do, because he dislikes the fact that they are no longer producing the kind of open system he prefers.

I think the angle he has is “Apple should remove these protections because they can’t implement them correctly”.

Yeah, which doesn’t seem reasonable, especially when mixed in with a bunch of assumptions about ill intent.

There are an enormous number of protections and a small number of issues, which do eventually get fixed, and of course the threats are undeniable.

However you are right that Apple is notoriously had at communicating about bugs.
