As in can I justify my claim, or what are the reasons that Amazon produces better software? I would say the former is a qualitative statement and I am going to have a hard time backing it up with facts, and the latter I have no idea.

I run into non stop issues when interacting with apple software as an app producer, from Xcode to iOS to App Store to App Store connect. Their apis are pretty horrible, both the reliability and the design.

As an end user of apple products, I regularly run into odd software problems with my MacBook and iPhone. Every CarPlay experience I have had is buggy, both from the actual CarPlay connectivity as well as apples own CarPlay enabled apps.

Apple Watch is a horrible nightmare to make anything more complicated than a simple remote display.

I could go on and on. However on the Amazon side of things I have never experienced a significant bug, aside from the audible app freezing on occasion when interacting with CarPlay. I blame apple though based off how their own apps work. I say this as an extensive consumer of Amazon products both as a business owner, developer, and SRE, as well as an extensive user of Amazon consumer products.

All this being said I don’t like amazon as a business, I can find flaws in their decisions, but they are business decision flaws not just straight buggy products.
