Pretty sure Apple is doing this for security reasons, not data gathering reasons.

Well, security starts with Availability.

Otherwise, my car is very secure when I never use it. Like, totally. Flying also has become very very much safer.

Edit: is/use/

Correct, I believe the main intent is to stop worms and ransomware.

  • Like most times in life intent is not relevant. Actions are.

    Nobody cares what you intended, they care how you actually affect them.

    • Fair enough.

      What actions on Apple's part have tangibly compromised their user's privacy?

Please. It's just data gathering. Security doesn't means giving away privacy.
