contentfairplay

Sure, but that is an incorrect test for other developers to worry about it failing.

What if you wrote a test that passes at the time of writing because of how something is implemented at that time but its not actually an invariant?

And they say Apple cares about artists and content creators...

Could you explain the downvotes? I'm new to HN and would like to learn.

Can anyone at Apple (or perhaps formally at Apple) explain why this is the case?

Apple is a super secret walled garden, full of itself. From my experience with people that work there, I doubt any of them would even know why (let alone come out here to explain).
