How does something like this not show up in tests?

[-] whitecapstromgard@sh.itjust.works 67 points 1 year ago

It does.

Usually engineering and R&D sees these things, but they are too scared to contradict ambitious timelines set up by management.

Or they report it to their managers, and those managers are too afraid to report it up the chain to contradict an ambitious timeline.

Or they do report it up the chain but upper management doesn't care and gamble that users won't notice or encounter the issue.

Or marketing. I've heard innuendo that at Apple, marketing has vetoes

Imagine engineering teams accounting for actual user behavior. No, this is on testing and the product development teams.
