> I feel like as a society we've swung so far away from institutional trust that now nothing good can actually emerge.

You frame that like society itself or the people that make up society are somehow at fault. Perhaps the issue is that elements of society like Apple have taken actions or have failed to take actions which would have engendered the sort of reaction that you would prefer to see.

If Apple wants my trust they need to earn it.

Why should I give Apple my trust again after being burned by them repeatedly?

Does Apple even trust me?
