Probably because it's an issue with very few devices. Did you let Apple know about the problem? You can give them feedback here:

Idris, I don't belive that Apple's lack of response or bug fix is indicative of a low frequency of crashes. There's rarely seems correlation there when a bug is not crashing their hardware or having a major deleterious effect.

I'm going on what seems to be the logical assumption that Apple is more likely to expend money and development resources on things that 1) are security threats, 2)may cause data loss and/or 3) are affecting a lot of people. Based on the paucity of threads on this matter, I suspect that not very many people have this issue. And it certainly doesn't fall under categories one or two.

If only a small percentage of users are having this problem, that means an even smaller number are reporting it to Apple. That means very few data points for Apple to even look at. I'm pretty sure this is way down the list.

Totally agree with numbers 1 and 2. I think 3 remains something we can only speculate about.

If there aren't very many threads about it and it doesn't make the trade press, it's probably not affecting very many people. Or, it's only affecting people who are very, very introverted.

There's a bug and Mac Messages too where the print disappears and you have to resize the windows or create a lot of "carriage" returns to prevent. That too has not been fixed.

Never had that happen. And I haven't seen very many posts about that either. So, perhaps things that don't happen to a lot of people are less likely to get fixed.....? Just sayin'

Priorities are part of the real world, but Apple is also a 3 TRILLION dollar company and Jobs hated bugs and crashes of any kind.

All developers hate bugs and crashes. And Steve Jobs has been dead since 2011. Tim Cook has now been CEO for three times as long as Jobs was. Time to move on
