Kudos to Apple for not budging on this. A senior dev once shared a bit of wisdom with me. That developers don't typically hold all the power, but the point of leverage we do have is that in the end we are the ones who actually are going to build it. Disagree with PM on a feature? If you feel strongly enough, you build it your way until they remove you from the project. YMMV. Skate at your own risk.
Anyway, that's essentially what Apple seems to have done here. Strong move, and one they should be rewarded for.
