Fair point and you are probably right. However, this is getting them a ton of bad press from pretty major players in the privacy world (Edward Snowden for example). This has high chances of a lot of people abandoning Apple products (I'll no longer purchase new apple products and already switching over to de-googled Android). Privacy is obviously just a marketing play by Apple but this time, they can't hide it and it might actually hurt their bottom line.
