Sorry are we just ignoring that Apple gave away keys to its HSMs to the CCP giving them a complete backdoor to their citizens?

Or that time they agreed to CCP demands to ban the Taiwan flag emoji, pressure Telegram to ban multiple rooms, and banned multiple apps used by dissidents to communicate?

Apple markets their obedience and cooperation to be successful in China while marketing themselves as champions of privacy in the USA to differentiate themselves from Google... while being worse than Google in China.

This company makes decisions based on what is profitable in a given market. It is all bait and switch to get you into their walled garden.
