Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?

I've watched the keynote and read some stuff on the internet and I've found this video about a dude talking about the new update (I linked it here because if you didn't see the keynote, this is probably enough)
Is it just me, or... does no one address that Apple does a Microsoft move by basically scanning everything on every machine and feeding this into their LLM?

As far as I know, Apple's implementation of LLMs is completely opt-in
And local. Probably. Maybe. Perchance.
It's all local, except when it isn't.
It’s both local and remote, according to their page. There are some activities that run on a “private cloud”. I’d imagine that image creation is one of those
While this is true, is it fact?
That we’ll probably only know after someone tries to test all the features without an active internet connection
Apple also has a MUCH better track record relating to user privacy over pretty much every other big tech company.
On the contrary, Apple's track record for collecting data is deliberately obtuse and utilizes dark patterns to make it as difficult as possible to not upload your info to them.
From the article,
Apple devices might be arguably more secure than other vendors, but security and privacy are not the same thing.
