Apple only control half the nodes, the other half is controlled by cloudflare.
Every request goes via an Apple node first, then is sent to a 3rd party node for final routing. That way neither Apple nor the 3rd party have a complete picture of where a request came from, or where it went.
Not entirely sure why you would trust a random ISP, and everyone else involved in routing that connection, more than Apple. Last I checked most ISP don’t have the tightest privacy policies, or even the best data handling practices. Apple stands to loose millions if they slip up on their privacy promises. Most ISP wouldn’t even bother telling you if they accidentally misplaced your personal details.
