You also don’t have a choice when Apple embeds tracking into their apps, third-party or not. I don’t see why Apple gets away with it just because it’s first party. Should I assume Reminders is sending tracking data to Apple and that’s okay?

For diagnostics and usage patterns only, of course.
Where's the consent? Where's the opt out? These are things we demand of all companies.
Every time I've ever updated my MacBook or my iPhone to the newest OS I got a popup asking if I wanted to consent to reporting anonymous usage data to Apple. I've always refused.

Am I to believe that Apple ignores my explicit refusal of consent and reports the data anyway?
