I haven't heard much of complains about Windows sending all your file hashes and most of the files into their servers, what they have been doing a very long time with Windows Defender. It is literally the same what Apple is doing now, but without restrictions.

Google and other cloud service providers have scanned your photos for very long time, by using PhotoDNA. On top of images, Google scans also your emails. People forget and move on.
