What makes you defend Apple when they won't defend themselves? If they have good answers why did they evade the question? Is it possible your basis for your belief they have good answers has changed and those answers will no longer be "good"?

I’m not defending them here. I was calling out the contrast between that and how their messaging looks terrible.
I know they do have good answers as I use the Apple TV and know what it does. They may not satisfy super hard-core privacy people, but if you’re willing to opt into the Apple ecosystem then within those constraints I think they’re very good.
But thank you for accusing me of being a fanboy. That was very productive.
I was quite disappointed in Apple for dodging so many of them and giving non-answers. They need to tone down the corporate speak and take a lesson from LG.
When asked if a user can erase everything the correct answer is not a thesis on privacy, it’s saying “Choosing Erase all settings and data will remove everything on the device back to factory fresh state”. They already have the perfect answer.
Apple has good answers for many of the questions they skipped too. But they look bad by not even trying to answer.
