That’s very naive.
The risks are far greater. Good on Apple for understanding that, and being proactive.

If you think that’s all that can be determined from movement data using intelligent analytics (as referenced multiple times in this thread) please continue living in your blissful ignorance.
And being far greater increases the changes for it being there, or even exploiting it. I predict this will need an update soon enough..
You can almost sense these thing when new stuff comes out that is convenient.I'm sure "location services' had an issue too when it came out
Apple can't win. Too little privacy/security people complain, too much privacy/security people complain.
I know you forgot the /s.
There have been side channel attacks published that use accelerometer and gyro settings to determine passcodes, so this is a good thing.
Kind of paranoid now, what privacy or security threat is it zero, all that will happen is Android will have websites with great navigation and features like acceleration gyro etc to navigate as well as web based games on iOS just basic as that’s what most will be able to view, if it’s disabled by default it’s regarded by programmers not having it so let’s not design for it.
