iOS devices are pretty horrible at keeping a background task going unless apple owns it. Probably why they can get great battery life, but also seems pretty anti competitive. Not even google’s photo backup works well unless you manually open the app once in a while.

Because its implemented poorly with the least amount of humanity. Some kids that went into that system have been lost due to poor paperwork, not to mention the legal citizens that were deported on “accident” for looking too brown.

The whole point is that the economies of scale don’t work to pay your staff and fixed costs at lower numbers. The damage is nonreversible, like economy studies show when you have uncertainty on the market.
