Why does Apple not have the ability to downgrade from a beta to the previous os seamlessly?

You have to have hardware storage and you have to back up your phone to your computer, then when you do want to downgrade you have to put it in DFU mode, connect to computer and reinstall.

It’s not that Apple cant do this. That’s not the issue. Apple does this not for technical reasons but to prevent general users from using beta versions

Beta versions are beta for a reason. Things don’t always work right. Apple wants to restrict people having devices that don’t work right to just a very select people who are usually developers doing testing. Not regular users.

Otherwise a large amount of regular users would be using the betas and have issues. You don’t want your customers having issues then having to reset and downgrade their phone all the time. That’s a terrible user experience.
