Didn't expect the law to cut both ways...
This is (one of the reasons) why Apple have been so defensive about their ecosystem.
They have slowly been building their security to protect their customers from bad actors, as the bad actors have been slowing finding ways to exploit people.
In early versions of iOS, there was little to no security, all apps had unfettered access, Apple started restricting access to more and more of the users data, and the arms race began.
Now the bad actors have tricked legislators into violating user security in favour of their scams and data mining reselling.
There is a big misconception here.
Apple only limits 3rd party tracking and access. 1st party tracking by Apple, a known bad actor, is not affected by all the security measures they implement.
Clearest example of that being that Apple backups everything to iCloud, to which while they offer E2EE is disabled by default. Hence, all the content being available in plan text to Apple and anyone else you can compromise your Apple account. That's where majority of celebrity nude leaks come from by the way.
And since the whole ecosystem is closed by design, you have no option to circumvent that unlike with open ecosystems.
