I do care, thanks for bringing it up. However that feature doesn’t work if you’re airplaying to a device or if another non-iPhone is playing your music (like a HomePod).

This makes it inconsistent at best and useless at worst, and doesn’t make me feel any better about Apple software quality.

Oh. FYI, those circumstances aren't in the post.

The post doesn’t go into detail about the circumstances that trigger the bug, but that also shouldn’t really be the user’s job in this case.

It’s the post author’s job to describe them, or else the rant can be easily misinterpreted as PEBCAK and disregarded by others, or spawn unnecessary threads such as this one I started. It is of course their right not to do so, but I assume with screeds like this that the goal is to convince others to be outraged, and it doesn’t do a good job of that.
