I don't work at Apple, so I can't comment on that. But that doesn't always help. There's been plenty of times where I have a full HAR file from the user and I can clearly see that something went wrong, but that doesn't always mean I can reproduce the issue. (I recognize a HAR file doesn't represent the complete state of the world, but it's often one of the best things a backend developer can get)

It always helps. Even if you can't determine the root cause you can at least add an extra assertion check or logging statement at that point so that next time the bug gets triggered you'll at least get more useful diagnostic data and can get a step close. Iterate until you find the root cause.

Reminds me of this Raymond Chen Microsoft blog post:
