>> Privacy advocates and privacy caring IT specialists have repeatedly asked Apple to offer such an option, but so far Apple has decided that regular people would turn such an option on, forget their password, then ask Apple for help and would be unhappy with their brand experience if Apple could not help them out.
Were I an iCloud user, I would pay big $$$ for such a feature. But... they do have a point, and anyone who's helped their friends and relatives with IT issues can confirm that.

I think it's a pretty common state of affairs when dealing with complaints about Apple's choices. It's not that they're (necessarily) malicious, or that they don't care about security etc. It's prioritising the user experience of an average user over the concerns of a relative minority. I, personally, hope they never stop thinking about their products in that light.
