Apple can at any time push a hostile "upgrade" that will remove or disable the claimed security features. You don't control the operating system, and can't trust that it isn't backdoored, especially given Apple's record[0].

This is true at least with cloud services as they disabled ADP in the EU.

    And people had to press a button to disable it or their iCloud accounts would be disabled.

    Making apple disable ADP is mass surveillance at its finest.
