>Every Apple article I read has comments like yours, essentially saying "It works on my machine, its a YOU (the struggling users) problem".

Rather, I'm saying: "it works, period" (on all machines).

The OC said it himself: "everyone overlooks it". Perhaps because it's not really there for them, and you're just more fussy ones?

>Do you genuinely believe your response is helpful?

Do you genuinely believe that any complain is legitimate?

The purpose of my comment wasn't to help with it (since I don't consider it broken): it was to counter the idea that "editing text is horrifically broken".

>iOS is objectively bad at it, in many specific ways.

If it was "objectively bad" I and the other commenter wouldn't be able to refuse it, nor would "everyone overlook it".

Something can be objectively bad without you noticing its failures. Consensus does not guide objectivity.

>Do you genuinely believe any complain is legitimate?

No, just legitimate ones.

Fussy means to be overly caring about unimportant details. However, I would not call this issue unimportant.

It tracks it much better than outlier opinion though.

A feature might be important, but the complains about the feature can still be for fussy things that don't matter (or just be wrong).

Like complaing about how hard it is to use a trackpad instead of a mouse, and how Apple should fix this "somehow" on its laptops.
