Why would Apple want to do this? It doesn’t benefit them at all. Their competitive advantage is having people trust their devices, if not their values.
People are making an extreme claim that Apple went out of their way to implement a fancy system to ruin their own value proposition, and the evidence they have to offer is mere speculation.
