I kindly ask that you attempt to steel man the argument before replying. Obviously that’s not the argument, they also made point releases before. Major release numbers means focusing on major new features, which obviously means less focus on fixing what’s already there and more stuff to be buggy.
Their last major release focused heavily on bug fixes and performance and adding new features required leadership override to permit as priority
They had a whole year (well I suppose quite a bit less) and I still have multiple bugs from iOS 26? Including a temporary show stopper? Gah! Maybe a reformat… actually a few, macOS iOS iPadOS.
Claim was that they don’t focus on bugs and quality for major point releases. Well they did. And then you claim they didn’t fix everything - well yes they didn’t. Snow Leopard also left major issues.
Bet a reformat is in order anyway considering - wasn’t disagreeing with your description of their intent, though AI Siri & Shortcuts must’ve taken a bit of oxygen.
