Lots of people have posted videos on social media showing this is (was?) very real. It seems intentional. And the PR isn’t great, considering just today Apple affirmed it will be sticking to DEI policies. I doubt any high up leader would approve this kind of “feature” but the culture of the company, including DEI culture, probably enabled an employee or two to build this in. And now we can expect some convoluted explanation of how this wasn’t a purposeful political thing, even though it seems like such issues always target one side.
