> everyone is happy to defend even the most incomprehensible decisions with “privacy as a feature”

Not me. I care about privacy and I know they care about privacy, but what I want to see is that they have a product in the first place before all those other things.

In fact, I more or less knew Apple wouldn't ship a good product when all they talked about was privacy instead of providing any meaningful data about performance. Turns out it's all just vaporware.
