> I would contact Apple, if there was a feedback option, but there isn’t

There is: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/

That said, it isn’t very user-friendly, and I find that they don’t seem to pay much attention to it. When they do respond, it tends to be some form of “#wontfix. Please close this.”

That looks like a fairly ugly little bug. I suspect they know about it now, thanks to the HN Bug Reporter. It tends to highlight these types of things.

Conversely all 4 of the bugs I reported with that were fixed in the next minor release!

It may well have to do with the types of bugs I report. Many are Xcode bugs, and Xcode is one of the most productive bug farms on Earth.

I also submit feature requests and usability issues.

My experience is pure anecdata.

I usually end up closing the reports, after a number of months of them being ignored.

RNG coding? I.e. what bugs replaced them...

I reported a bug that occurs in a specific configuration of the Music app (trying to use Home Sharing + using bluetooth headphones), never heard anything back. I wonder if it's been fixed in the latest version of the OS, I still haven't upgraded...
