Idk about older devices (unless it’s due to no longer supported os updates), but password recovery makes sense. Have you seen how tech literate your average person is? Definitely would create a lot of angry customers.

What if you turn on advanced data protection? Though even if that does achieve what you want it sucks that it’s opt in.

Weird how Apple and iMessage are not in the same category. How do distrust apple’s privacy claims but trust iMessage?
