Nowhere does this change disallow app makers from collecting data, they just need to be transparant about it. Apple should be held to their own standards just as much. To your second point, which big company nowadays doesn't? Not saying that it's a thing we should accept but why bring it up here?

Also, pleas don't use gaslighting when you mean marketing, imo it takes away from the severity of gaslighting.

Apple doesn't have much choice when it comes to governments. They have resisted data collection efforts where they have legal ground to do so. If you want them to stop handing anything over to your government, you need to fix that with legislation.

Apple shouldn't be allowed to collect data either.
