Given Apple made $93.74 billion in just 2024 alone, this fine is equivalent to fining the average person just 1/3 of a day's wages for over a decade of illegal privacy invasion.

That fine is laughably insignificant in the face of the crime committed against the people involved.

The average person pays proportionally far more than that for much less significant crimes!

Penalties need to take into account profit, ALL profit is the base of the fine, then add penalties on top. Until this happens... who am I kidding it'll never happen
