Apple collects your data for the same reason Google & Meta do: to sell ads. The only thing Apple is better at is PR.
Glass will block most UV light, so maybe the melanoma is from the cosmic rays? Not sure if sunscreen helps with that.
How many wild bison/deer/elk got killed each year? Right now it seems about 2/3 of fawns die, most of them eaten by predators: https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jwmg.21...

I wonder if that number was higher before humans reduced the number of predators.

Citation needed. A quick Google search says the US has about 90 million heads of cattle, while the peak population of wild bison was 60 million and of wild deer was 40 million. That seems pretty close.
It might be wasteful, but wasting resources to save money isn’t fraud.
