> I am currently unable to work because macOS sends hashes of every opened executable to some server of theirs and when `trustd` and `syspolicyd` are unable to do so, the entire operating system grinds to a halt.

That's another case of a product not doing its primary function - OS running apps - because company placed their own (data gathering) objective above it. See thermostats not turning on heat when the internet connection is down and other equally stupid examples...

Tesla is not all electric vehicles.

My Twizy and Ioniq haven't got a single touch of data gathering neither a SIM card/wifi connectivity.

Pretty sure Apple is doing this for security reasons, not data gathering reasons.

Well, security starts with Availability.

Otherwise, my car is very secure when I never use it. Like, totally. Flying also has become very very much safer.

Correct, I believe the main intent is to stop worms and ransomware.

Like most times in life intent is not relevant. Actions are.

Nobody cares what you intended, they care how you actually affect them.

Fair enough.

What actions on Apple's part have tangibly compromised their user's privacy?

Suuuure.

Please. It's just data gathering. Security doesn't means giving away privacy.
