&gt; Apple said, &quot;hmmm, it would be easier to buy this person than to hire him.&quot;<p>Those two things sound the same to me.  The guy was hired.  What are you saying here?<p>&gt; There is no one-person fix to secure enclave or any of Apple&#x27;s other problems<p>Nobody said he&#x27;s going to work on that.<p>&gt; Apple&#x27;s problems, such as they are, are systemic and cultural. Apple cannot buy its way into better cloud services or better Siri, or better security, and certainly not with the purchase of a such a small company.<p>You seem to know a lot about Apple&#x27;s culture.  Do you have some evidence to support your claims?
