(As a privacy fanatic who uses GPDR all the time to get control of his data) sadly, I think that this is the fundamental nature of the technological era that we're living in. This is just how software works, many things that were previously private in an analog era are now explicit somewhere in the code. Do you really think that if various Apple or whomever policies are struck down, the tech that's built in the 2020s & 30s & 40s & the rest of the 21st century somehow won't gather data on people? As someone who's really unhappy about that state of affairs, it just seems inevitable.
Edit to include: I suspect that 'privacy' is going to be viewed as just a brief moment in time for humans. Previously we all lived in small groups or villages with little privacy (I grew up in a small town, I know!), so the 'privacy' era may have just been for urban dwellers for a few centuries
