The paragraphs that were critizised address issues like Apple having the right to globally share private data including phone numbers with strategic marketing partners. The same way you don't want any random marketing company in Europe get your personal data, I don't want it circulating around somewhere else in the world. Marketing over the phone is so old-fashioned and ineffective, that no serious company needs my phone number anyway, and I wasn't called from anyone until now, anyway. But as my data is stored, backed up several times, shared and distributed... If my phone number gets compromised one day, I would be the one having to change it and notify all my family members, friends, colleagues, etc. Or even worse, my data could become part of some weird scam.
As a reminder: It has nothing to do with Germany itself, at all.
