That is very very very false.

There is a radar for that as well, and I have some opinions on the matter, but it is not something that I have any control over.

Really, filing radars is valuable even if they are just duplicates. They are cheap to file and value able to the development process.

Yes, ADC is sometimes not the best middleman.  If you are hitting an obstacle with ADC, reach out to Apple engineers that you know directly to enquire about them.  We are all over forums, stackoverflow, twitter, etc.  And we want to help make the products better for users and developers.

If you don't file a radar about an issue, there is no guarantee that the right Apple engineer knows about it. I came across a stackoverflow question a few months ago with an answer that "it is a known problem that ... so the workaround is just ..." but it was never reported to Apple until I happened upon the post and filed a radar about it.  The issue was fixed (internally) a few days after that, but had someone externally filed a radar, it would've been fixed even sooner.
