If you're a young developer at Apple you have no idea how hard this feedback hits.
So many of your points-of-view change after the first death in the immediate family. That's not likely to happen until your fifties or sixties.
The memorials on our devices are important: I have a weekly reminder to “Check in on mom” that will never be removed because it has a whole new purpose since her death.

@chockenberry @agiletortoise This week, a policy change at work meant I could no longer access my task list from my work Microsoft account on my personal Mac or PC, so I switched Microsoft To Do back to my personal account, which I had last used in 2019 . . . the year my mother passed away. One of the last unchecked-off tasks was a recurring yearly reminder to wish her a happy birthday.
I cleared out a bunch of the other detritus, but I left that one there, for just that reason.
