Apple can’t even keep settings values correctly.
After they introduced AirTags I went and disabled item detection on all my devices. Yesterday I went into settings and guess what, that feature is enabled again. On all my devices! I’m not sure when that happened, but my guess would be that latest iOS update caused that…
My point is, you will only have things working to the extent you have testing for, and test coverage is likely less robust for less popular features or where perception tells developers that “no one is going turn that mega-feature off”.
