Thank you! I, too, had no idea before I asked for a takeout. I plan on doing thorough takeouts from all the big companies. They keep track of all kinds of random things and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Scary. However, it was reassuring somewhat that the things Apple claims to to be on device are actually on device. Health data, for example, was not part of the download.
I personally think of it like this. If I go to my friends for advice when I struggle in relationships, I care about figuring out what's the right thing to do and how to do it. If my friend encourages me to text my mom, I can tell her "Joe told me to text" or I can just say "I miss you". I wouldn't say either is dishonest, because they are both true. To me the latter is closer to how we actually communicate on a daily basis. I definitely see where you are coming from though
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Checking it out now
