1. You can at least somewhat audit the software running on an iPhone, for example by means of reverse engineering. You can’t audit the server side.

2. It’s one thing to rely on proprietary services like Find My or Siri. It’s another thing to rely on a secret server-side app that has the power to destroy your life.

What I somehow fail to grasp in the first argument is that this whole system is designed specifically so that it runs client-side. AFAIK all the alternatives (as in « cloud photo services ») have been doing the exact same thing on the server side for decades. If you upload your photos to the cloud, a lot of service actually already have the power to destroy your life.
