As far as I can tell, this hasn’t been an issue for over 10 years—at least for Apple devices?

Whatever happened to, “Design for the expert user”?

I'm not sure why people should design for the expert user in cases like this?

I don't understand why this would cause an expert user trouble (it's the loss of a single bit of password security, which shouldn't matter if your password is even reasonably decent).
