replyBut this is solvable. The problem is the work it takes to solve it isn’t worth the hit to time to market. (And possibly even the cost.)

replyThat's the crux of my point; Apple could have solved this on day zero if they had a consumer-centered threat-model and/or considered user data to be a liability rather than a hook for service subscriptions.

I don't consider this to be a problem, but the DMA working as intended and preventing gatekeepers from competing unfairly.

replyI think that's uncharitable. Apple prefers not to have the data either, hence the preference for on-device processing.
