Is there anything to be done if you message a recruiter about a job, they look at your LinkedIn and then they never reply? Do you follow up or just admit defeat?

You do a little bit of research on them, find out where they used to go to happy hour after work and go and wait there every evening. Don't give up, they'll show up eventually. Wait until they leave and walk silently at a safe distance until you see where they live.
Check out the buildings in the area that offer direct views inside their house. Knock on their door, befriend the owner, go inside the house and check if indeed you can see what the recruiter is doing. Then make an incredible offer on the house (don't look at the money, it's worth it).
Now install your office across from the recruiter's living room and every day send another message starting with:
"Hi X, I hope you and your spouse went over the argument you had this morning."

Do that for 10-15 days and they should reply. Good luck!

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities
