One should not assume Apple is taking a strong position on privacy and security for altruistic reasons.
I assume they are competitively positioning themselves against Google, Facebook, etc. and will hopefully be rewarded by the market as more people wake up to the importance of privacy and security being designed into their hardware and software.
Apple is simply betting that privacy and security is great for business. No more. No less.

But when I see that an organization's actions align with their profit motive... then I find it much easier to rely on them, at least as long as I expect their position relative to the market/competition to remain qualitatively the same.
