> 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.

Thanks! I didn't know about this site to share feedback. I'll give it a try.

Also another reader mentioned to enter Feedback Assistant in Spotlight. It's the first time I see that app.

Honestly you might as well scream it into the nearest pillow. I'm sure someone somewhere reads some of them, but in most cases the very best you can hope for is a comment asking you to confirm whether it's still an issue in the latest release/beta.

Wasn’t it admitted or leaked through court documents that it was originally added only to placate upset users who expect to be able to submit feedback but that they weren’t going to particularly monitor or care for what gets submitted through it. I recall it was Jobs himself who didn’t want it and gave in after constant demands for a feedback contact method
