I think this is completely understood and also expect this is also agreed
with.
(I certainly agree with all of it)

On a personal front, I share your frustration, and I doubt I'm the only
person
who does. (That's strictly with my cap on of this not being the day job
mind)

I also know they're listening, and trying. I just wanted to break it down
into
things I know that are easier, and harder, to try and avoid the hard things
(eg
maybe action 3)  stopping the easier ones (action 1 and 2) from happening.


On that front this explicit statement...

I agree that developing for a device you don't have is next to impossible.

Agreed.
