Apple sells you privacy from everyone but Apple.

When are they going to allow us to opt out of the baseline telemetry that we cannot opt out of as per their EULAs?

When are they going to make their own ad targeting network opt-in instead of opt-out?

When are they going to give us the option of full E2EE for our iCloud data?

What you have just described sounds like a really good product to me since Apple themselves are not a vector in my privacy threat model.

Mostly the same here.

But, when their ad-targeting goes fully online?

When they hand over your data due to a lawsuit you didn't expect?

There's no limit to the scenarios you could posit as a hypothetical. What if the US Government had a backdoor in every Wi-Fi chip (which works even if you don't load drivers for it) and a brutal exploit for SHA-256? Hey, it's possible. And there goes your façade of security.
