I like this fairly subtle take (which I agree with the author that Apple's cloud product is essentially a betrayal of their privacy stance).
The subtle take I got is that devices should be completely private... given that is what you pay for. This drives Apple's phone system into that "unremovable bloatware" which I pretty much want to escape from on Android devices without necessarily setting up all the control myself. I wanted to trust Apple's hardware for privacy (and already understood the limits of their privacy in their cloud), but now I feel betrayed as this product can be eventually used for more sinister practices should a government pass laws necessitating it, as highlighted in many other comments.
