Apple’s problems are multitude, and I’m no fanboy, but they do work pretty hard to keep their devices secure from government hacking. https://epic.org/amicus/crypto/apple/
Apple's unwillingness to implement e2e encryption of user iCloud data says otherwise.

Unwillingness? That's a big assumption.

Not that I'm defending it. And I also expect Apple to do better and not just pay lip service.

On the other hand, who is doing as much or more? Again, not saying that to excuse them but just point out there is likely far more going on than them just making an arbitrary decision here. Just saying...

> who is doing as much or more?

Google does end-to-end encryption for Android for free. Just saying...

There is a big difference between “doesn’t care at all” (which was what the GP said) and “hasn’t done everything” which is what you are arguing.

Has Apple done absolutely everything? No. Have they done a lot? Yes.
