The apple_news_exporter_title filter changes the title component, but not the title

Description

We're wanting to use different titles for Apple News. The apple_news_exporter_title successfully filters the title component on the article, but leaves the title that apple sees untouched. Which means that Apple's editorial isn't seeing the Apple-optimized titles.

Use Case

I'd like it if the apple_news_exporter_title filter changed both the title component and the actual title.

So, I found that I can use the apple_news_generate_json filter to do what I want. However, I feel like the apple_news_exporter_title is confusingly documented, and should probably function to change both: the component with the role of "title", and also the "title" in the JSON. Here's the function I used:

/**
 * Push different title to apple.
 */
function alter_apple_json_output( $json ) {

	if ( get_field( 'apple_news_alternate_title' ) ) {
		$json['title'] = get_field( 'apple_news_alternate_title' );
	}
	return $json;
}
add_filter( 'apple_news_generate_json', 'alter_apple_json_output' );
