We shouldn't be looking to Apple as our biased replacement for a government; they also, for example, pull apps that poke at how iPhones are made in sweatshops... that they occasionally move to do something someone finds valuable doesn't exonerate them or forgive how much power they have accumulated.

Who is doing that?
Governments have so far completely failed to manage intrusive tracking.
Apple isn’t acting like a government. They are simply recognizing that this is an attractive service and providing it.

This is just generic Apple hate and not relevant to the thread.
