Privacy =!= Protection from legal action
If you use your iPhone to conduct illicit business, the police can subpoena Apple and it will hand over your data (at least in the US).
Privacy in this context means preventing other apps from selling your data to brokers (e.g., location data) or using your phone information to do other stuff (e.g., AI training).
I believe you meant !=
Yes, thank you. It looks like the backslash just escapes the character??
I guess it depends on the client and likely instance. Over here on Startrek.website and using the Voyager client I was able to just put != with no escapes required.
Apple also has partnerships with Google, Meta, and others. Your data is being sold on that platform. It is just more formal and profitable for Apple.
