Why do so many iOS apps have such poor quality?

Apple's written policy is that crashy apps are not permitted in the
app store.  Why is this not enforcd?

Pick a few apps at random.  Sort the reviews by "Most Critical".
Quite common are complaints about crashing.

it is better not to ship a product at all than to ship a product that
drives away customers.

I once worked on a defense contract.  the primary contractor chose the
part by looking at vendor product literature, then selected me to
write the firmware based on my expertise with that part.  despite that
i could not work around a hardware mask bug they made a bunch of very
expensive prototype boards then distributed them to "The Client" with
the expectation that i would deliver the firmware later.

After six weeks of fruitless struggle i bluntly told them they had
selected the wrong part and would have to redesign their circuit
board.nnquite likely they lost the contract.

How hard can it be to add assertions to your source?
