This is deeply troubling, this data is unnecessary collected and impossible to opt out from apparently and may be read at any point in the future by an attacker or by apple itself without notice

this is a class action lawsuit in the making

It cannot be read by any other apps unless you explicit give them Full Disk Access.

If you use iCloud, all the data in this db can be derived from other data already stored (messages, logs, etc).
