  This would mean businesses are not permitted to deliver goods that do not (secretly!) surveil us. A car manufacturer forced to install hidden microphones in all its vehicles, or a construction company required to plant spy cameras in all apartments it sells. It makes it a crime to not be a government snitch. But this is on a computer, so it's okay.

Thankfully, as the United States Justice System will happily tell you, Apple doesn't have a monopoly on anything. You can go buy another phone if you dislike this, Apple has no commitment to maintaining your privacy. That's how the free market works, I've been told.
