A lot of the teams inside Apple who create first-party apps like iMessage are understaffed compared to their competitors.

They should really hire more security folks. A lot of Apple's product security work seems to be outsourced to Google Project Zero.

Yet they somehow roll out some crazy new memoji or drawing feature every year

Their priorities are just in the wrong place

Of course, the people writing the Memoji code and the people doing security work on the app are frequently different people…

And water is wet. Apples priorities are still misplaced.

The point being argued is that apple is not giving enough attention to important security issues while also preventing others from doing so themselves.

Any developer must take care security at some level.

Poor Apple, they are so busy protecting our privacy and telling us about it they forgot to hire people.
