   Apple is extremely lucky to have users like this who still work tirelessly to find and report these types of problems. They would do well to listen.

      Why wouldn't Apple encourage devout users such as the author, to claim actual bounties for such finds? Like - a pair of pods for every 5 UI bugs they find? Tis a rich company after all...

         Ludicrous. Bug reports by the average user are worthless and generally a net negative if you consider incorrect and duplicate reports.

         Paying user for bug reports would just incentivize very prolific spammers (you know who) to fuzz your entire OS and automate sending thousands of reports a day.

            There must be a way for certain automated vetting in 2026 for this, you think in terms of human reviews. Most of what's in this article is easily confirmed by VLMs today (IMHO at least, and I do a shitloads of VLM work for more than an year now, daily).
