There’s also the difference between privacy and anonymity.

Apple has tools in place for privacy, but none for anonymity. For example, requiring a full name and physical address to sign up for the App Store (Microsoft, despite all it’s telemetry, let’s you install apps from their store without an account).

I’ve heard suggestions to give Apple a fake name/address, but what if they start verifying like Facebook by requiring government issued ID?

Worst is new iCloud accounts now require a phone number for verification.
