dyld has one principal author, who would 100% quit and go to the press if he was told (by who?) to insert a back door. The whole org is composed of the same basic people as would be working on Linux or something. Are you imagining a mass of people in suits who learned how to do systems programming at the institute for evil?
Additionally, do you work in tech? You don’t think bugs appear organically? You don’t think creative exploitation of bugs is a thing?
Of course no one can admit it publicly.
But it is something that governments are known to proactively do.
You can get dirt on people a la Jeffrey Epstein. And use that to coerce them.

It was a complicated product that many people worked in order to develop and took advantage of many pre-existing vulnerabilities as well knowledge of complex and niche systems in order to work.

OTOH, how rational are spy agencies about such things?
But some just happen to work too well.
But governments do have blatant back doors in chips & software.
