I can't agree with your comment. apple has all the incentives to monetize your data, that's the whole value of Google and Meta. And they are already heading into ad-business earning billions last I've checked. Hardware ain't selling as much as before, this isn't going to change for the better in foreseeable future.

The logic is exactly same as ie Meta claims - we will pseudoanonymize your data, so technically your specific privacy is just yours, see nothing changed. But you are in various target groups for ads, plus we know how 'good' those anon efforts are when money are at play and corporations are only there to earn as much money as possible. Rest is PR.
