I agree. It’s easy to see how a user hostile setting would go unchecked by a large corporate company that doesn’t benefit from protecting the privacy of its users.
That’s a weird conspiracy theory. How does anyone figure Apple benefits from this. How is the setting even ‘user hostile’?
I consider sending anything up to the cloud without user's consent is pretty hostile. Passwords especially. I don't care if they claim it's E2EE; programmers and implementations are fallible and I thought a key part of Apple's whole value proposition is it's supposed to retain control in the user's hands.
