Many ToS have many illegal parts.

Repeat after me: You cannot:

... contract away... / ... agree away... / ... accept ToS away...

... your legal protections & ... any law

Illegal ToS are literally scary stories to scare people, but if any part of that ToS goes against laws/ your rights, then that part is null and void.

Courts often have cases where a ToS section or section of a contract is not legally enforceable, and the court simply sets that aside as if it never existed.

This wouldn’t be any of that though; you absolutely can “contract away” your Apple account and everything attached to it.

This revenge fantasy is not in any way real; Apple can for sure do what they did here.
