True, but that line of thinking assumes they will harden those things in favor of the customer/user.
The article suggests that Apple may be exempting its own apps from user-defined network traffic protection measures in order to clamp down on geographical licensing loopholes, or to keep its app traffic out of VPN servers. Either case would be to the benefit of Apple and the detriment of the customer/user IMO.
