Unfortunately there is no money for Apple, or anyone, in putting your family safety and privacy first, since selling you out is far more profitable since most people don't care. By the time it gets bad enough for them to care, it will be too late to turn back.
Disillusionment with the way things are going is the reason I've kinda decided to step away from tech. I will miss the income, but I won't miss the dystopian hellscape. I'm buying a farm. Gonna raise chickens. Will automate as much of it as I can with non-cloud FLOSS and my own code and sweat. I will not try to grow it to billions, I will prioritize my time.
Companies wouldn't try to hide privacy violations if no one cared.
People care about privacy. They don't understand how their data is used and believe they can't do anything about it.[1]

This is the biggest trouble we face. If we, as users, do not care enough, companies have no reason to change anything.
