This is very different from a sudoers file though. Apple has full control of how those things are configured, so they could easily migrate the values if they want, for example.

The fact that they doesn't shows either a malice from them, or at least very sloppy engineering/product management.

Because this kinda of attitude is really bad, and if it was a product from any other company (like Google) I am sure that people would say that this is proposital.

Yes, that is exactly the point - there are so many such incidents (and not just with Apple but with Google and Microsoft OS / apps too) that leak users personal data, and when someone publicly points it, the ready-made excuse is that it is a "bug".
