It's also a convenient workaround to synchronize information about your online-behavior, while still being able to state publicly that your browser-history is never processed to profile you.
Upvoting this because it's a view worth sharing (and I'm sure you'll be downvoted just because of your baseless claim that Apple is concerned about something as dirty as profit /s)
- theshrike79 3y agoApple is making filthy amounts of money just from hardware and app sales. All of their attempts at targeted advertising have been rounding errors at best. And they know that complete unbreakable privacy is the place where Google (an ad company) can never ever fully follow no matter what kind of lip service they do in their keynotes about privacy.
- clairity 3y agoall of apple's recent growth is coming from its content ("services") business, which means it's hot to track you for advertising purposes. passkeys provide another stone in their walled garden to be able to track you but keep others from doing so as effectively, which on balance contributes to its competitive advantage. make no mistake that this is the direction apple is headed. it's been clear for the last 5 years or so, since hardware sales have leveled off. perhaps the goggles will dampen the velocity a bit, but i'm very skeptical that the AR/VR market is mature enough to have that effect in the near future.
