Absolutely ridiculous. So glad I cut my tether to Apple last year.
Now I try to stick with a separate service per need instead of putting all my eggs in the same basket. Worst case scenario I can switch out individual services if something bad happens or if any of the services become bad actors.
The scary thing about Apple and Google is that many people literally have their entire digital lives with them.
Apple has reportedly been ordered by the UK government to create a backdoor that would give security officials access to users’ encrypted iCloud backups. If implemented, British security services would have access to the backups of any user worldwide, not just Brits, and Apple would not be permitted to alert users that their encryption was compromised. https://www.theverge.com/news/608145/apple-uk-icloud-encrypted-backups-spying-snoopers-charter
