Something tells me that could easily change.
Sure it could, but I think Apple makes so much on overcharging for the machine itself they don't need to be so aggressive over data collection just logically.
Sadly I think they have to aim to do both, to make the most money as a publically traded company.
Last I heard Apple was protecting it's users from Facebook collecting their data.. by being the ones who collect it instead. Maybe that not quite right as I don't listen to news on Apple (outside of their opposition to right to repair).
