Why would you be concerned?

Going against Facebook/Google and other ad giants is in their DNA.

My concern is for people who take Apple's marketing (what's really in Apple's DNA) at face value, not Google or especially Facebook.

It's not marketing. Apple has cared about privacy since the 80s/90s.

Jobs even went so far and envisioned a private mesh network to avoid cell/internet networks from snooping on iPhone users.

I remember when Google was the "good guy".

We should not forget that these companies are nothing but shareholder driven business and their incentives can and do change.
