The point is that they don’t need to. They are not selling advertising, they are selling privacy as a service. E.g. Apple maps breaks apart your journey on their side so they can’t reconstruct your journey from a to b.

They may not need maps for this. They could use geolocation or “findMyDevice” service which may be collecting this data already. Right?
No no no, stop it, it's Apple and this word is the synonym to "privacy", you are not buying a device, it's like second mother, caring about you and protecting your privacy with angel wings.
That seems like a reasonable argument, and not hysterical snark.
