Lol... Apple is notorious for their defective and untested software.
I'm pretty sure they don't have a QA department. Also see
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11034071.

Worse, when a bug is reported through their RADAR, it goes unfixed.
They force users into QA, and then don't fix the bugs that are
reported.
