bug was in the design. (or in decision leading to design)

I don't think I'd call it a bug. It's a poor decision. I can easily believe that it wasn't a decision made with malicious intent; the culture at Apple seems (at least from the outside, judging by results) to encourage an "it's okay to give our own software special exceptions" mentality.

You could call it an entitled opinion.

A bug is unintentional, through error or coincidence of unforeseen circumstances.

Coding a feature and providing a configuration file thereto is not a bug.
