There are 2 reasons a big corporation will ever do anything:
-
Make number go up
-
Avoid number going down due to bad PR, government fines, etc.
This probably falls under #2.

Everyone says Apple cares about privacy. Why is this even there?

Apple does sell privacy in ads.
And their hardware sales margins are hilarious.
So in this case they do have some incentive for privacy/security.
They do even better - they sell the idea of privacy. Then they’re free to double dip.
Or triple dip if selling in a place like China.

If they cared less you wouldn’t even get the option

Google and Facebook do the same thing, doesn’t make them any more privacy friendly.

Google and Facebook don’t enforce these kinds of setting onto their internal apps
When you tell iOS to not share info with applications it actually doesn’t share that info with applications. Facebook sued Apple over this.
Look, I don’t worship Apple but it’s just wrong to say they aren’t wayyy more protective of privacy than almost everyone else

Apple may block third party from accessing your info, but they won’t block themselves from doing the exact same thing Google does.

Not true. They’re required by law.
