I can't speak for the parent, but this is my reasoning: They make close to a hundred billion dollars a year by selling hardware, so they don't need to sell my private information for some quick cash. It's stupid, I know. But the same couldn't be said about advertising-driven companies (like Google and Facebook). In other words, being mindful of user privacy is a luxury they can have right now, and it's good for their business (i.e., they're not doing it because they're "good", or others that do are "bad" or "evil" - it's just that they're now in a position that respecting user privacy is better for their bottom line than not being respectful)
