"Despite giving Apple 100% reliable steps to reproduce, they asked me if the issue still occurred in the latest beta, and if it does, then I should submit an iOS sysdiagnose." No one looked at your repro steps, and no one researched your bug. They're just looking to cull the bug list. If you don't respond immediately, your radar is closed.

smells more like an auto-respond or ai-respond to extant issues. we will farm out reproducing this bug to the OG, both to save us time and because if they don't complain it must be a signal this isn't important anymore.

This pattern predates AI. It's just something they do with all idle radars when new OS releases launch. The fact that it was bucketed under iOS means they did literally zero investigation.

Sometimes I almost believe there are whole sections of the Apple Ring building where the employees are so immersed in IOS that they're unaware MacOS exists.

I understand that your comment is meant as a joke but... all the people working on iOS use macOS daily. On their Mac. That they work on.
