But they're not wrong at all and their time and money was well invested. The ecosystem does just work and the user experience is great compared to the alternatives. It's also possible to use only specific products and switch off various cloud or telemetry options. There's still a long way to go to reach a private OS, but Apple has by far the best privacy stance when compared to Google or Microsoft and there is nobody who offers such an OS right now. The best one can hope for is build their own Linux-based distro or use BSD and then one has to be prepared to invest a significant amount of time. Apple didn't get challenged through the GDPR yet because everyone's busy with Google and Facebook still. But, if you or anyone else would like to lodge a complaint, maybe this will be decided for the customers (I think it's borderline) and we'll get an option to switch it off.
