The amount of phone-home in the macOS these days is also absolutely astounding. My new mbp16 has at least 4 different processes talking to Apple Maps servers even with location services disabled, and if you press F8 it sends the machine's unchangeable hardware serial number to Apple (linking it to your IP) without consent. (FWIW it also says on screen that it is doing this when you press F8.)
It that Maps functionality, or OS functionality? Can it be remapped in Keyboard Shortcuts?

And most importantly, what the actual fuck?..
