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.

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