That's one point of privacy.

Meanwhile, they protect vast amounts of your data with encryption, especially if you opt in to the most protection.

I don't have any wish to promote Apple, but those are not comparable. Even though I have hated Apple's closed App Store policy.

What do you mean by your data being protected by vast amounts of encryption? Can you verify those claims beyond trusting what Apple tells you? Isn’t the commenter above insinuating that a targeted individual can be compromised anyway?

The problem is that you cannot opt-out of the Apple Account.

Which means that targetted attacks are trivial if the attacker possesses the resources.
