What are you talking about? The Mac OS X Feedback pages have been up
since the Public Beta days (that's September, 2000 - more than 4.5
years ago)
See <http://www.apple.com/feedback/>

They're not liable to be sued because by submitting your ideas you're
agreeing to their unsolicited ideas submission policy, which says that
you won't do that.

Developers and participants in the seed program have been able to file
enhancement requests directly in Radar since as long as I can
remember.

Yes, but that point is fairly irrelevant. What do you mean to
