Privacy isn't "every conceivable feature" and the reason Apple is taking heat for this in the first place is that they buried it, and many people discovered it for themselves when the server slow-down happened. It takes some mental gymnastics to refer to that as "wildly successful." My view is that Apple has no business knowing when and how frequently I run programs, nor circumventing my VPN. If these things are really a "wildly successful" "feature," then why bury them in the first place? Offer them to me as an option and let me bask in the glory of all that Mac OS has to offer. ...That is, unless this is just an intrusion into my privacy.
