This is just part of what I think is a much bigger story, one in which we're all living at the moment. Years ago Cook was being interviewed and said Apple didn't care about collecting information on people because their business was making things: the actual physical boxes people used. Either that was a lie or he soon after changed his mind. It's become clear in the past couple years that Apple realized there's much more money in storing and controlling people's data, and charging them to access and retrieve what's theirs. That's why they don't care about MacOS (or offering bug bounties), why they don't care about Server, why they don't care about Desktops or even Laptops (not really anyway), why they don't care about much of anything except providing slightly flashier dumb terminals to "the cloud". And we the people are blindly handing over all OUR stuff.
