Why is Apple so good at technology, but their podcast app completely sucks? Overcast runs so much faster and has more features.

Its a well known fact that Apple software sucks and has way better alternatives usually. Except….. no can’t think of any.

I was working at a radio station when iTunes added podcast support. They scraped and published our feed, which was designed for bittorrent clients, and it didn't work. The radio stations got a bunch of calls about why their podcasts broke even though at no point in time had they ever had it working in the first place. My boss was too stupid to understand why it wasn't my fault in the first place and why I couldn't "fix it" without getting a hosting budget. Almost nobody used the feed after we made it work on iTunes. Went out of business a few years later. Got bought up by a muslim religious station.
That was a bit of a ramble. Podcasts are gay is what I was getting at.

Why does apple music suck? It's the same as GNOME software, they don't care about performance or features only making "simple" stuff that looks nice and works for most people

Apple Music does work for most people, but Apple Podcasts is slow and buggy and it makes your phone really hot and the battery dies way too quick.
