> They have huge incentives. Apple is positioning themselves as the privacy king

I am willing to bet that it is a deal breaker only for very small minority of users. I would argue that search engine data is of much bigger privacy concern than OS, as compared to search history no OS action comes close in disclosing personal action, and google/bing almost has universal market presence even for Apple users.

> Meta has suffered huge losses because of their privacy abuses.

They had their revenue reduced, true. But it is not loss. They wouldn't be in any better position if they didn't used extra data when it was available.
