I suspect most people aren't putting AI into any purchasing decisions. Most people really actually don't give a shit about it. They just want things to work exactly how they did before without people moving stuff around because they just want to get stuff done.
Most would submit genetic material to 23andme and similar organizations with no restriction on its use. Yes, if could theoretically backfire not just on them, but also on their kids. But unless they see it as a near-term likelihood they will not care enough. My 2c.
(I agree with the point, but it's just not trivial to make people aware of this)
It's abundantly clear that most people don't care about how their data are used. Here "most" means people outside HN.
It seems to me that what you just said is an argument against Windows in general, not against these new features.
It is only possible for photos to resurface because they were stored in iCloud for months or maybe years essentially in spite of user intention for those photos to be deleted.
that's just not my experience. linux is far more convenient for me.
In my social bubble, no one runs [desktop] Linux. No one knows Linux. No one cares about Linux.

It doesnt seem like you were able to do that.
At least with Apple you have a single vendor who is vertically integrated and makes a huge song and dance about data privacy. Even if you discount their PR and marketing spin, IMHO you are still miles ahead of the likes of Microsoft + (pick one) HP, Asus, Lenovo and the rest of them.
There is no way I would trust any of them not to take advantage of the data gold mine.
