Compared with the competition, they have little motive for not following through. Their business model doesn't rely on data collection, data redistribution or advertising whereas much of their competition does. Google gives data to other parties for income and so they would have little ground to make such promises. Instead, Apple's profits generally come from a hardware business with large margins thanks to outsourced overseas slave labor. Also, they have held their ground against heated government requests in the past.
