Apple Announces Full Swift Rewrite of the Foundation Framework

Apple has such an unpredictable stance on software development.

For example after all these years and lots of requests for such a feature it's still not possible to get notified about new reviews for your apps, but it's possible to get notified when a user edits a review after you've replied to it.

Apple’s style reminds me a lot of something I once read (and later experienced) about Japan and tourism:

> (roughly) Japan is a country for the Japanese. While they may welcome you and invite you to experience their country and culture, the country is very much setup to serve the Japanese populace.

Apple feels similarly. They build what they need and enough to capture the revenue they want, but I don’t perceive them to really cater to external needs beyond what will monetize.

So then why does all of Apple's operating systems and apps receive updates at all.

Your argument is completely illogical.

I’m not sure about macOS, but on iOS you can install the App Store Connect app (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1234793120) and then enable notifications for new reviews from there. ([app] → Notifications → Mobile → Reviews, [your initials] → Notifications → Customer Reviews)
