*shrug* Ask Rowling. It’s treated as perfect: Voldemort gets foiled by it twice, and both times the only way it’s broken is through a mistake by the Secret-Keeper.
And “throw balls everywhere” hardly requires the top-tier of competence.
Also note that there are some obvious downsides to Apparating onto the top step. Like balance.
I don’t really have very much respect for the plots, or really the cunning, that go on in Rowling’s books. Those weren’t really the lure of the series.
Doing it? Not a whole lot. Coming up with it? Tracking them down closely enough that it could be implemented? Maybe.
I’ve seen that in a fic as well. Even assuming that the boundary is the house itself rather than the surrounding property, why wouldn’t they be able to Apparate into the house proper? Isn’t that what they did with the whole Yaxley debacle?
Though, on further reflection, since the charm seems to work by messing with perception rather than actually making something invisible, it’s possible the person wouldn’t be able to perceive that the ball was missing—forgetting its existence or not realizing that it hadn’t been retrieved.
