In some countries, if you're part of a retirement fund that owns stock in a company, you might get away with calling yourself an investor in a letter / email / phone call to investor relations. Nobody wants investors to be disgruntled, so if one asks for something and it's not a terrible imposition (think actually looking at a flagged customer instead of bouncing them from bot to script-following employee) many companies actually go for it and fulfill the request without much checking.
You understand how betas work right?
It was in the betas, too, and they submitted it as a bug early on, and it wasn't fixed in any of the betas or the first release candidate. This is covered in the article.
It might have been HN, but it might not have been. (Surely other things have been fixed between RC and release without HN intervening.)
A company with Apple's resources should have extensive in-house automated and manual testing and validation, and basic firewall rule eval / VPN problems shouldn't be an issue that makes it this far.
Does it matter? Isn't that the point of betas?
I installed the beta 1 of Sonoma months ago (to do work on the widgets) and my mac was fully crashing once or twice a day. You could argue "how did this even make it to beta"... /shrug
My iMessage is still broken from the beta, the text gets displayed in a sub-frame 1/2 the size of the window for no reason at all. I can't seem to undo it.
Apple's concept of feedback is like Whitehouse petitions: ostensible appearance of engagement connected to the circular file. At least Netflix just has no feedback mechanism at all.
