Spying on you by default... A lot of people don't understand how much self-incriminating information there is in all that physical activity data. Imagine you're accused of committing a violent murder. And you own an iPhone. And you claim you were sleeping at that time. But your physical acitvity data shows otherwise.

Wouldn't they need to decrypt the data in the first place? But perhaps that digresses from the point...

The major problem is parallel construction.
If the police can use this data - obtained illegally and surreptitiously using tools like accessdata or cellebrite to search for confirmation, they could extract a plea from you or find/manufacture other facts that do incriminate you or tear down your defense.
