If you can get into apple’s system processes, you are already on the other side of the airtight hatchway. You can make sufficient changes to the system at that point that you can certainly mess with any user-installed firewall monitoring.

In any system with any kind of sane security model, being able to convince the Maps app to send arbitrary data to an arbitrary URL is not exactly the same thing as total change-stuff-not-even-root-has-access-to compromise.
