This is another level of petty, I love it Maybe it will inspire them to hire more engineers and we can kill two birds with one stone.

This is never an issue with number of engineers, it's an issue of business priorities.
Large tech companies have plenty of engineers to fix bugs, but most of them are on projects trying to 10X things instead of paying down debt.
Apple used to be unique in it's immunity to it, they even shipped an OS update claiming it was only big fixes and not features which is unthinkable these days. Over time there's much less focus on polish from them though.
Will maintenance and bugfixes get them promoted? "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome"
More engineers aren't the solution. Less engineers are.

Given Apple's recent software quality, this would likely just let them ship more bugs.
