How does helping other people find their lost items (with neither Apple nor the "helper" knowing where the item is, now who lost it) infringe on anyone's privacy?

How about if I just don't want Apple collecting data at will or using my device as a private mesh network?

Um, then don't enable "Find My iPhone" when setting up your device??

One would have thought by now people who get Apple devices should have stopped thinking of them as "my device".

What data is Apple collecting? All of the data is anonymised and encrypted so that even Apple can't decrypt it.
