But yes I agree with you also that this isn’t solely on Apple opening the door.

There is no need to endlessly spy and the same pretty much applies to Amazon, Google and Meta may have a file on you, but in order to have that file, they need to spy. in short there is a big cost of acquisition for them to open up that dossier on you.
Apple or Amazon, in order for you to buy something from you, you have to exchange information in order to complete the transaction, which is no different than any other retailer that you would ever do business with, that isn’t Google, and that isn’t Meta. not at their core. And don’t bring up the Me-Too hardware products that both companies try to sell from time to time. Those are just small side work in the big picture for them.
They are not like Apple at all.
Just read the TOS.
