> Apple claims to protect user privacy all the time. But they can't offer a product in a major jurisdiction that has actually meaningful privacy laws?

The DMA and the GDPR are laws that at their core make each other more difficult. the stated outcome of the DMA - allowing any vendor/user full access to your device - is not easily supported when solving for privacy.

A popup that's like "do you want to give app XY access to this data?" is really not that hard to build... It's a lazy excuse, nothing more.

And then most users soon have given permissions to a ton of apps with sketchy records of protecting user data, so what was the point of even trying to protect privacy?

To give the users a choice? It's not Apple's responsibility to protect the users if they want to opt out.

By that same logic, we should all be locked up in padded cells to avoid getting hurt.

You gotta let people make their own choices.
