What are you trying to prove? that Apple is the exception, that Apple really cares about you? Apple is not a person, it is a large corporation without any of it's original founders, it has no principles, it's a machine that operates on one metric: it's bottom line. All of it's behaviour is merely a result of profit seeking, public perception and legal limitation. Apple will play the "privacy" marketing tool for as long as it helps their bottom line, but not when it doesn't. Which is demonstrably true by their behaviour in China - they do not care. They also take billions of dollars from Google each year due to their control over the iOS browser... so they are quite happy to support privacy invasion. |

Implementing the features that apple does in a way that's private requires effort and money, it isn't marketing. Safari uses Google as the default search engine, but it also puts a lot of work into fighting Google's tracking, irrespective of what happens in the search field.
We can talk about how US businesses are generally shitty to the end of time, but we don't have to pretend that just because Google and FB shit on everyone's privacy that every corporation does.
iMessage is E2E even in China, apparently. The non-E2E services that apple still has are not-E2E in china or the US or the EU.
