Apple has hamstrung itself because of their stance on privacy. Most of the operations are done on-device or in some other way obfuscated on the server side.

Google, on the other hand, has no qualms about merging user data in the cloud and can create better results that way. On the plus side, their assistant stuff is uncannily (even creepily) accurate. On the minus side, all your shit is in the Alphabet Database now.

Whether this bothers you or not is up to you. (The generic you, not the 'you' you)

That was what "one" was used for originally. "Whether this bothers one or not..." etc [1]

"Whether this bothers [one] or not is up to [them]" ?

What's going on here. The following seems incorrect:

"Whether this bothers [one] or not is up to [one]"

I think the latter is more correct, but the first is allowable now.
