The phrase "no one cares" never literally means that not one person cares. It refers to the demographic one is talking about, ie McDonald's app users, which is what I clarified in my earlier comment due to then predicting precisely this sort of argument taking place, which of course it did.

[...] But also the 2024 election, deepfakes and GenAI are going to be big in the next three months, and might be pivotal to the election outcome, and cause a backlash comparable to or bigger than 2016.

You have more faith than I. Every single time people on HN or in the wider tech community think the general public cares about privacy (not necessarily the governments, which, while some do, most still do not), the general public show themselves time and again to not care. It is seemingly simply something immutable, because convenience is easier (by definition) than inconvenience, which is what privacy advocates impose on the public. And also, Meta's stocks are higher than ever, as said earlier, and they have largely worked around any of Apple's privacy blocks, so it cannot be said that their valuation has transferred in any part to Apple.
