I don't really get why Apple doesn't go all-in on privacy.
They probably make peanuts on advertisement and it's not their core business at all. They have such good PR potential. They can easily paint Google/Meta as blood sucking data vampires that read all your emails and look at all your dick pics. They could paint Android as a data hoovering OS that only works for the benefit of advertisers.
Meanwhile Apple.. The good guys.. Encrypt all your data, don't inject JS on every web page , protect you from ads with Safari, and do compute on-device

As a user you can choose to lock (almost) everything in iCloud so that Apple can’t see it, but that comes with the trade-off that they can’t help you if you lose your access. It will be permanently gone.
