Remember. You are expressing your opinion. It is the opinion of one person.
It is not universal. What you consider to be important apps or unimportant apps
is not shared among everyone. I agree with you on things like Stocks and Voice
Memos, but I know others who would not agree with that. So, as the expression
goes, Apple can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the
people all of the time.
Bugs are going to be in software. It’s a reality of any product based on the
fact that so many different development teams do so much different work as
updates are made available. I don’t particularly feel we need yearly updates to
operating systems, but apparently, the majority of those who buy the products
do appreciate it. There are certainly outstanding bugs in iOS that have
lingered for far too long, but name a software product in which one cannot
make an equally valid statement. Android, Windows, etc … they all have them.
