…in the same way any existing feature of iOS that makes device data available to Apple (eg iCloud Backup) “owns” the endpoint, no? What’s to stop a malicious Apple from turning on iCloud Backup for all its users and hoovering up your Signal messages database and iCloud Keychain?
Nothing. iOS even defaults autoupdate to on, so Apple could do this without your interaction today.
