I have all kinds of Apple stuff--phones, laptops, accessories--but a lot of what they do is strategic in service of enlarging their profit margins (look at right to repair, for example). I don't necessarily blame them; capitalism is a race to the bottom here. But let's not cast Apple in this light of noble privacy defenders. They're doing that to make money too.
