I can kinda understand the Google Drive: they requested her files for an internal investigation (at least if I understood the article correctly), she deleted those files (by deleting the app through which they could have accessed the data) which is indeed a non-compliance, a bit like destroying evidence.

What baffles me is the Pokémon GO and Robinhood. What, they wanted to see her movement data as well as her share in Bitcoin? That's just dumb. And unless they needed her physical locations and movements at certain times and dates (for which they would need a specific order), they could have simply gone in the location data in the freaking settings!

Note that The Verge’s reporting is almost certainly sourced from the fired individual. Verge is not a reputable outlet.

Apple probably didn’t care about Pokémon Go or Robinhood, and their inclusion in the reported list was probably an attempt to elicit exactly the type of misguided sympathetic reactions we’re now seeing here.

Pokémon GO functions as a self-recording GPS and Robinhood's financial records could produce circumstantial evidence of embezzlement, corporate espionage, and/or insider trading. A geocaching game and an entry-level trading app may seem insignificant ,but the data (and metadata!) collected by just one of them is digital gold to Apple's forensics team.

The article says she declined to comment, and her attorney would only say that she was no longer with Apple. So that info is (at best) second-hand info.
