In your example, institutions built up trust and it was broken by some third party. Public health was compromised as a result.

In the case of privacy, the trust was broken by the institutions themselves (Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, US gov obviously as well). Public privacy was eroded as a result.

Yeah it's really self righteous of an Apple employee compare their employer to the entire international multi decade effort to develop and distribute life saving and civilization changing vaccines.
