That's Apple though. "We know what you want better than you do" is almost a company mantra.
Not almost, it just is. It is the winning strategy right now. Everyone who is doing it gains massive profits somehow. Money speaks for itself, isn’t it?
I doubt every company who shits on it's user's privacy and their preferred experience is gaining massive profits right now, we're just discussing the successful ones. I think the two leading factors in this scenario are "Brand Recognition" and "double dipping into as many aspects as possible with your user's data." The whole 'if it's free', apple is definitely getting a kick back sending all this data to them even if it's "secure".
