Yeah, I don't buy it, frankly these all seems like minority use cases. I imagine if you were to poll all i-phone owners this would all be bottom of the list in terms of wants. I think a lot of people here conflate "What I as a tech and privacy enthusiast want" and "What everyone wants" very often. The feature you suggest would be used by a very small percentage.

That's not to say I wouldn't want it either but I'm pretty privacy conscious, and a tech enthusiast. I just don't think you can say Apple is putting user's needs second, I don't imagine most users need this.
