I think Apple might be held to a higher standard here because they advertise themselves as the privacy-conscious choice? On Windows, it's kind of routine that everything from your keystrokes to your searches gets used "to improve our products", for all I know Win10 looks at the files on your disk too. They certainly don't offer Apple levels of privacy even for private folders on your Onedrive. It's also par for the course in multiplayer online games that while the game is running, it monitors your PC for known cheating services - sometimes even when the game is not running, although that still causes a bit of a huff if the program doing this gets caught.
