> Apple having access to everything related to end user, every step they can take regarding privacy can be deemed as anti-competitive.

But does Apple have access to things? Or do they (sometimes?) design things so that even they don't have the information?

A lot of the time they do things 'on device'.

Agreed. And that’s something I very much enjoy.

My general worry is that the entire discussion is shifting “from what’s good for the customer to this other company cannot do something shady because you protect the customer”.

Does Apple enjoy this gatekeeping practice? Of course they do, but so does Google with Android and they abuse the crap out of it.

Google's also being sued for their antitrust actions, so they're not above reproach here either.
