Update 1.6.1.93 fixes the previous inability to apply a supplied or custom-calibrated .icc paper profile to a print job. (Previously, the printer dialog would spontaneously revert to the image colour profile, eg. ProPhoto.
 
This deficiency was my last tether to Photoshop, so I can now slot Affinity Photo into my colour-managed workflow.
 
Thank you to the development team. You should really highlight this fix in the release notes. It was a show-stopper for photographers who actually print their work. I happily discovered the fix by testing the new releases.

First, thank you all for being far more courteous than I was in my original post. I am calm now.
 
My third attempt to reach an Apple customer service human by email shows more promise than the first two tries:
"
We'll be in touch. An iTunes Store representative will review your request and should send you a personal response within 48 hours. "
   
24 hours down, 24 to go . . . 
 
Underlying my trollish behaviour was my disappointment at not having Affinity Photo for my tablet. I am a big fan of both Photo and Designer and no longer use PS at all. 

In response to Patrick Connor's request for before-and-after shots, here is the original .tif file exported from Photo Ninja after raw adjustments, followed by the result of twice applying Affinity Photo's haze removal filter with the shown settings.
 
For this  fresh demonstration, I did nothing else but apply the haze removal filter, whence the dust bunnies in the sky.
 
The effect is similar to using a polarized filter on the lens. I can't imagine how this is done, but it works.
