This is issue of security, no privacy. And I highly doubt Apple is on team peasant here. They are biggest beneficiaries of US government, they play for that team.

I understand how "propaganda" works and ultimately realize that Apple included such a feature for good publicity so the normal people of the world who don't know what a Mulvad or a Tails is, but are still privacy concerned, would go out and shill 1,000$+ for their phones-- I get it. I ain't saying you don't have to be distrustful.

I still think it's a bit silly to look for problems in what is ultimately a good thing, anyways. I didn't forget about Apple's letter-of-the-law following of the DMA, I didn't forget about Apple suing Samsung for "rectangle with button", I didn't even forget about Apple reversing course on scanning everyone's iCloud photos for CSAM-- that last part which was genuinely privacy concerning. I'm still gonna go out of my way to say "i like this" so Apple and other companies continue to at the very least virtue signal for protecting their consumers against an over-reaching & often times distrustful law enforcement.
