Exactly! And this is my problem with Apple too - sure , they do some things right and are more conscious of "user privacy" than others, but at the same time they have also started abusing this to further spy on their users. What use is "we are transparent with our users about the data we collect" when the user does not want you to collect the data in the first place? And they give you no option to opt out of such data collection? (And for what - just so that they can create a better ad network that can better exploit us with our own data?) (And don't get me started on Safari spying and all their "anonymous" cookie collection crap without giving the user any choice in the matter, essentially forcing everyone of their users to opt-in to be profiled through their browsing history).
