Do you honestly believe that? One of the most powerful telecommunication hardware companies in America, hilariously somehow NOT being in bed with government agencies? Perhaps Apple can't see your traffic, so by the letter of their statement, what they said is true... but the mystery boxes in locked rooms at Akamai, Fastly, and Cloudflare I'm sure can connect your traffic across the relay hops juuuuuuust fine.
Not to mention the other poster's important point of having the traffic effectively tagged to your iCloud account is stunningly probably very accurate. I knew this thing was bad news the moment I first read about it, now I feel even more strongly it is indeed America's version of the great firewall and social credit score impacted by your net traffic and the websites you visited pumped up on American steroids.
Cloudflare sitting as a proxy in front of tons of other websites otherwise in the wild closes the significant gap left by non-Apple device users.

Is your position that Apple is doing some sort of scam on their paying users in order to compromise their privacy to random websites? I did not bring up any law enforcement organizations, I was responding to the idea that since Apple can ban users, random website operators will trust their relay traffic more. This is a completely unrelated thing.
