When I setup my iPhone, it asked me if I wanted Siri up front, instead of sneaking the functionality in.

Later, I was able to go to Settings and switch it on or off.

I don't see how your above example is at all egregious -- people retain full control.

Compare this to Windows 10 (at launch) turning on a whole host of privacy-compromising features and not giving clear control to the user (but I was glad to see at a more recent setup I did that I now can toggle it off even at first install, and that I can look it up later)

To steelman your argument, I would propose instead talking about lack of browser rendering engine control or lack of ability to install arbitrary executables. That's actually something people have no/little control over. But even then, there is a reasonable debate to be had.
