Yes, but "better" is a qualitative term not a quantitative. That this thing even exists in the first place and was either mandatory or opt-out is still concerning to me.

This change moved Apple a little closer to the "good guys" column, but not really into it.

If by "good guys" you mean champions of privacy, I don't think Apple will ever be that. They're a giant business and that means they're primarily motivated by profit.

It's up to the people to be the champions of privacy and help Apple realize that our interests (privacy) are aligned with their interests (profit).

(And I say this as someone who's rather anti-Apple for other reasons. Life is complicated and full of compromises.)
