Is DiskWarrior Losing Relevance?

Apple has released detailed APFS specs. It’s almost 200 pages, I’ve only read some of it.

But I’m not sure if it goes into enough detail for Alsoft to write a reliable repair tool. The part I’ve read so far has lots of very low level detail, without a broad overview of how it all fits together. But perhaps I just haven’t got to that part yet.

HFS and HFS+ were in use for decades, had detailed specs, and Apple engineers would answer questions at WWDC or online. APFS seems much more secretive, and Apple is a more secretive company now.
