This looks like a scam.

And as a surprise to nobody, except perhaps the "author" of the original article the aborted takeoff had nothing to do with tyres.
"The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) says a gauge indicated the temperature of exhaust gases in the plane's right engine was too high."
"The ATSB said the rejected take-off was conducted in line with standard operating procedures."
I've been writing software for over 40 years, I hear you!
That said, I think that the current crop of updates coming out of Apple are symptomatic of a larger issue, namely that it has effectively isolated itself from its customer base and as a result has lost touch with the reality of using Apple equipment.
I've used Apple gear for a very long time and this appears to happen in waves. I'm not sure what breaks the cycle, but something does and things get better .. for a time.
I suspect that the current crop of releases are driven by an accountant wanting to cash out on the latest AI craze with no regard for the existing user base.
The latest example of this is Apple sharing all your photos with their AI system:

For me the icing on the cake on that image is the "Translate" link which makes me wonder how you might translate this into say Klingon or CEO talk or ELI 5.
Other than that, it's a sad state of affairs that we've allowed this to happen unchecked and wholesale across the planet.
Constipation .. running the game of life in hard mode.
Except that these bugs are being found after release, which means that alpha and beta testing is not finding these bugs and the internal testing process isn't finding them before release either.
I have no idea what's driving this, other than to observe that there were several subsequent fixes to do with sandboxes which was causing all manner of grief for applications being prevented from accessing their own files.
This one..
Apple has been releasing bug fixes across its entire OS offering for the past six months like it's going out of fashion. I used to measure laptop uptime in months, now it's weeks and days. Quality control is not what it used to be.
