I was wondering why you were being downvoted, as the point seems pretty valid. Privacy is as big a concern to the vast majority as right-to-repair is. I suspect that right-to-repair occupies an even smaller mindshare than privacy does these days too. Eitherway, it's all sub-par, and that's a real shame.
Then I read the article, and realised the paragraph you're partially quoting is saying the same thing:
> The proposal is consistent with Apple's attempt to occupy the moral high-ground of technology by championing privacy at the expense of the surveillance capitalism embodied by Google and Facebook. Note this is for Western iThing users only, if you're a Chinese customer privacy is just a distant dream.
Unfortunately, while The Register's entire article is written in that tone, when a comment does it, it doesn't translate quite as well.
