Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple? (m.youtube.com)

I've watched the keynote and read some stuff on the internet and I've found this video about a dude talking about the new update (I linked it here because if you didn't see the keynote, this is probably enough)

Is it just me, or... does no one address that Apple does a Microsoft move by basically scanning everything on every machine and feeding this into their LLM?

they definitely do spy on their users and sell their data, but are very clever at marketing their items as fashionable and people fall for it

Do you have a source for this?

Specifically about personal data...

Apple may engage third parties to act as our service providers and perform certain tasks on our behalf, such as processing or storing data, including personal data, in connection with your use of our services and delivering products to customers.

As for anonymized aggregate data...

Aggregated data is considered non‑personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

(All from Apple's privacy page)

So they may not be explicitly selling identifiable information (which is usually pretty standard with big companies, I think), they are sharing it with other companies (which is normal)...and they're also almost definitely selling anonymized data (which is also standard).
