Halo's principle

I believe he will rip off his head and shit down his neck...

I get your points although some of the examples given are not really comparable. What I am concerned with, is that with apple you have a network of millions of devices reporting to you. And that's the issue, it was sold as "this is great, everyone helps each other, no need to be critical about privacy here". These narratives are dangerous and we should stop and retreat if they blow up in our faces...

Clarification:

All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.

I prefer neomutt with mbsync and notmuch. Mutt wizard can help you get setup. Pandoc is great for formatting, and any browser can be used to view html if lynx is not good enough.
