None of what you’re saying has to do with handing over user’s data to police and government officials without a warrant - every other smartphone OS vendor does it, except Apple, so I’ll continue to use their devices because they protect my data, and their products are well-made and integrate with each other well.
Your slippery slope fallacy is funny, though. Sure, Apple is just as guilty as every of vendor of using it’s users data to enrich it’s services, but they still put UI/UX at the forefront compared to others - their design system is certainly better than Android’s material design. Google apps aren’t even designed with one-handed bottom screen mobile navigation. Apple’s modal-based system where each section’s last state is preserved and maintain’s it’s own back gesture timeline is far more intuitive than Android’s system-wide back-gesture, which throws the user all over the place.
