As Scott noted, this isn't as efficient, or really practical in any sense. As
it is WWDC has a huge impact on Apple's engineers - aside from the week itself
(during which only a thousand or so are at WWDC, at most, on any given day)
there's a lot of preparation for the month or two prior. Developer relations
in particular are working their nuts off to not only get the conference itself
in order, but ancillary things like make sure all the presenters are up to
snuff, that relevant sample code is ready and to a proper standard, etc etc.
Also, physical presence really isn't that useful. There is certainly a
camaraderie that comes from being physically together, which is all warm and
fuzzy and all, but for the most part boring old telepresence solutions (even
email, of all things!) is a perfectly good way to work together with an Apple
engineer. So what you really should be asking pointed questions about, of
Apple, is why you can't get in direct contact with relevant engineers
occasionally. ("Technical Support Incidents" are (were?) vaguely of this
nature, though the indirection through developer relations can be problematic
for everyone involved)
