In terms of normizing surveillance, Apple is late to the party. The truth is "personalization" is a euphemism for surveillance. This language slight of hand has been popular with Google, Amazon, etc.
Per "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism", it's not the surveillance to fear per se, it's how our own meta data and such is being used against us. Now. This info isn't simply predicting behaviour, it's being used to alter and modify our behaviour.
I'm not giving Apple a free pass. But to call out Apple and not the others gives the masses a false sense of truth.
