privacy is something Apple markets a ton to regular folks. even on billboards!
Apple likely did market research before they chose their ads and decided that privacy was of mass interest.

I doubt they have any worries about tech news being critical of their policy. People will generally trade privacy for safety, I've seen this as a constant theme since 9/11. There is a lot of apathy around who has your data these days. I talk about it with friends and more often than not the attitude is "well, google/facebook already know everything about me, doesn't matter anymore".
Also, if they don't then does it even matter at this point?
It's possible that even if Apple dropped all pretense and started working with authoritarian governments to compromise reporters the general public in the west still wouldn't care.
