You're inverting morality and infantilising the consumer. Apple is a corporation. Corporations don't owe you moral anything, except as required by law.

Choosing an Apple product is consent to trusting Apple. Continued use their products represents ongoing consent. This is an objective fact about all complex connected devices and it cannot possibly be otherwise.

Corporation are driven by people. They’re not a separate entity that decides to do things while their owners are sleeping. Every actions have someone that suggested it and someone that gave the green light.

Corporations are driven by shareholders, through the board of directors, through the c-suite, which have a fiduciary obligation to maximise profits.
