You actually think that "syncing onto a mac" is the same as sending the data to a completely unvetted 3rd party cloud?

"I own data that may be stored on Apple's servers. Apple's operating system syncs that data to my local computer in a secure fashion. Apple's operating system exposes low-level APIs that allow other applications to access that data. I can install third party applications. Those third party applications can access that data and may exfiltrate it to an unvetted 3rd party cloud."

Your turn smart guy: Am I talking about iOS or MacOS?

Apple can only allows EU-based alternatives. Then the data protection is solely in hands of the EU commission and their vetting and regulation.

Problem solved. Next question?
