You didn't look in the right place, IMHO.

On our system, comp.sys.mac.programmer had 341 articles, 25 of which were
from Apple employees.

When I post questions to comp.sys.mac.programmer, an Apple employee nearly
always responds, sometimes with stuff that is documented nowhere, and that
a PR-type would never know.

I don't think that's because of company policy; rather, Apple people are
answering questions out of the goodness of their hearts, just like the
NeXT people who post here.
