I think what the poster is getting at is:
"How do we validate claims of end-to-end encryption?"
It is a lot of trust to place in a company. I would be curious if there are ways to test Apple's claims?

I'm not a security expert, and you can't prove a negative, so AFAIK the only evidence is the lack of reported incidents where Apple's iCloud Keychain data has been directly hacked or compromised. Given that iOS and iDevices are among the highest-value targets for hackers and nation-states, that seems like reasonably solid evidence.
From a business perspective, lying about such a thing would have virtually zero upside but unimaginably massive downside. It's a great Apple-hater fantasy, though.
Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to hear from you. The link you provided is in no way, shape or form actual evidence of what you're suggesting.

What are users going to do? Buy a Surface tablet and a Samsung phone?

I just dipped my toe into the Apple waters again and bought an m1 air a year or so go. I'm currently shopping for a used iPhone.
I don't have brand loyalty and I use what works, and it just so happens that Apple has been making stuff that works pretty well in my opinion recently. But I'm under no illusion that I can trust them.
