Sometimes I feel the same way; that said I've had over a dozen reported
bugs fixed by Apple on iOS over the last 4-5 years. On OS X, very few. So I
know they do care about it, but I also find sometimes that I get a better
result if I report the bug via RADAR and THEN also post about it on the Dev
Forum with the RADAR ID. Not always, but more often than not that has
worked.
