There is a promise in the marketing that customers expect to be kept. Apple has done lots of research and work to create privacy preserving versions of services that competitors simply harvest lots of user data for.

Apple has invested heavily in this vein.

It's the work of moments to put it in a contract that data sourced from you cannot be sold or provided to a third party without the law requiring it.

They choose not to do this.

Apple have invested heavily in their /marketing/

If you believe they won't flip on you the nanosecond it suits them I've got a bridge over here that might interest you...

Besides even if you believe the current people controlling Apple, all of them, you can't possibly know who will control it next year let alone in 5 or 10 years. This "I want to believe" garbage is just ridiculous. Seriously. You expect anything you like and Apple won't care a damn if your expectations are trashed for their profit or something else.

If they won't put it in a contract it only because they reserve the right to to flip you off. Hard and rough. No other reason.
