> These should really be open source:

It's funny, when SwiftUI and Compose were coming out we waited a bit but jumped in as soon as we could. With Compose, our early versions required us to make builds of Android Studio on our own machines that supported it. But even then Compose felt more polished in a lot of ways - and if we ran into issues we could _see the code_ and make our own components with the changes we needed if necessary.

SwiftUI is great, really, but has so many rough edges, gotchas, and bugs. They do get fixed, but you're still supporting 4 year old versions of iOS without those fixes, so you're screwed.

Just completely boneheaded not to open source SwiftUI from the start, especially with how great the open source Swift community is.
