Its not about definitively claiming they are being nefarious, its about they CAN be, and Apple isn't transparent enough for us to know if they're not. So its about risk. People can use Apple products, I don't really care, but they risk their privacy when they do, and thats not a risk people should have to take when using an OS.
It is just innuendo to claim it about a particular one without evidence.
People don’t risk their privacy by trusting Apple any more than they do by trusting anyone else. Almost certainly less so than by trusting a company that makes money out of personal information.
Singling Apple out without evidence is misleading innuendo.
If we want people to have the option not to trust private corporations, we need to create infrastructure that currently doesn’t exist.
I'm glad you finally realized this! And thats why people should use FOSS.
