The beta doesn't have bugs that affect every single native app, and no iOS beta before has had such a bug. This bug breaks every single PWA, and several iOS betas (and even production releases) have had such bugs. As the article points out, Apple could have implemented automated testing to catch such bugs, but its incentives have resulted in this not happening.

You don’t know they didn’t catch it. You don’t know they haven’t fixed it. Perhaps the fix just didn’t make that build, but pushing it out let them test/get feedback on other things.

Regressions happen, they get fixed. A regression in a beta, especially in an areas that’s being heavily modified since they’re adding read 3rd party support, is not an indication of a scam.

It’s just a bug.

So you just ignore the part where the article says this is a repeated issue and has never happened for native apps? The article has a point, and in order to pooh-pooh it, you ignore it entirely.
