1. How many years ago was the iCloud Keychain API introduced?

2. Why in't there any UI in iOS yet to view and delete that data without using those apps, asking them nicely, and trusting them to do it?

3. Why aren't users informed about apps storing data that will carry across app reinstalls, device reinstalls, and to all your other devices?

1. Rhetorical?

2. Why would there be? Apple building a UI for people to accidentally fuck up their apps sounds like the exact kind of thing Apple would never do on iOS.

3. Users are already informed when an app wants to track them. Beyond that, having an app store data so that it carries across reinstalls and to all my other devices is what I would expect my apps to do. If I uninstall an app and reinstall it later, I want it to pick up where I left off, not with a blank slate.
