Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple? (m.youtube.com)

I've watched the keynote and read some stuff on the internet and I've found this video about a dude talking about the new update (I linked it here because if you didn't see the keynote, this is probably enough)

Is it just me, or... does no one address that Apple does a Microsoft move by basically scanning everything on every machine and feeding this into their LLM?

I didn't know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?

Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I've seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.

The main point of the article you've linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a "Do not track" option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a "Do not track" option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?

Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn't ideal, but it's incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.

By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I'm just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.

I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I'd love to be proven wrong, tho.
