That's exactly why Apple does things like analyze your photo library locally on the phone - for privacy.

Yes, surely this has no relation to their inability to build reliable cloud products ....

It could be both. Perhaps Apple concluded that 1) they're subpar with cloud services and will have difficulty competing, 2) there's a growing need/demand for more privacy and less 'cloud', and 3) Apple's products are already, on the whole, recommended when it comes to privacy.
And based on that they figured privacy was a good thing to aim for. Play to their strengths and differentiate based on that.
