Apple doesn't like be told what to do.
If privacy is in the way of their desires then Apple will invade their users privacy because no they don't stand for privacy.
Seems like you're spewing FUD to me, mostly. I agree Apple is far from perfect, but they literally introduced an e2e methodology for much of iCloud data recently.
Besides, even if they are only doing this out of selfish desire, it's still a good thing for the consumers in this case.
I believe proprietary software gives unjust power over users and so Apple making a good change (even if it were sincere benevolence) is still in that content.
That's a reach beyond reaches.
I happened to view your profile and see recent comments. I see a post saying you choose to switch from Plex (proprietary) to Jellyfin (open source) due to their businesses decisions. Is that's because you anticipate changes to the software you will dislike? This seems very close to what I just tried to say.
Has everyone forgotten about Apples plan to scan every single photo uploaded to iCloud for harmful content? They can and will destroy any semblance of privacy for the right reason.
Well, scan hashes -- they didn't look at images directly until it was flagged. That being said, it'd require trusts from users they aren't looking at everything directly.
Only apple is allowed to spy on it's users
