>Apple is making the use of many security functions black or white: either you allow complete control by Apple, or you have little to no protection at all.

In that respect, no Apple's no different from Facebook's "agree to share your data or take a hike" move with WhatsApp

It's extremely different. In Apple's case we're talking about a personal computer that someone paid a few thousand dollars for and is their general purpose machine for their own private affairs (unrelated to Apple), and in Facebook's case you're talking about a single-purpose centralized communication app that is free.
