Advertising in general has been a growing revenue stream for Apple from my understanding. That "anti-tracking" they added a few iOS versions back also conveniently increased Apple's ad revenue because other advertisers didn't get the same data that Apple would just have by default.
I've lost count of the volume of times I've been downvoted for stating that Apples transition to a services based company guaranteed they would become the enemy of every users privacy, regardless of all their virtue signaling about privacy.
Meanwhile, in the 2020's you can not longer do offline dictation at all, on a several thousand dollar machine, without agreeing to sending PII and transcripts of all your dictations to Apple servers... You could do completely offline dictation a decade ago, on a machine that was about 1/10th as powerful.
