Apple does far less with your data than others, to the extent that there are things they cannot do that others can, e.g., in the line of recommendations: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/apples-privacy-rules...

Apple also does a pretty good job of securing devices against “back access”.

Feel free to replace “Apple TV” with whatver is your preferred input source, be it a Raspberry Pi or whatever.

It doesn’t change the fact that the people doing the subsidizing aren’t getting the intended value from me.
