No, it's more about the inherent limitations of touch-centric UIs, combined with limited multitasking (full-screen apps), and trying to hide the filesystem from the user.

The file system hasn’t been hidden for years. Unfortunately the app and components that interact with it are completely anemic, so it’s still a pain to work with.

Maybe they just can't afford QA? Shareholders are demanding sometimes, but end-users aren't mostly.

LoL @ "Perhaps Apple can't afford..."

There really should be some syntax for jokes on the internet.

Only one laugh I've got for this one…

Apple can afford anything in the world, except degrading quality / reputation.

Apple can afford a small country, and shareholders will certainly support an Apple management that insists on adequate QA.
