If ARKit were a cat and wanted to enrage humans into not feeding it, it might do so by exploiting its sensitivity to lighting conditions. ARKit relies on various cameras and sensors to run sophisticated algorithms like world tracking. If a person's physical location has insufficient lighting, it can affect sensor data and possibly cause algorithms to not operate seamlessly. For example, being in a dark, unlit room may affect the quality of world tracking. This could be akin to a cat hiding in dark corners or under furniture, making it difficult for humans to find it and feed it.
