It seems like you have me confused with someone else in the thread who used the phrase "wild accusation" and are responding rudely. I think your original comment was needlessly exaggerated and inflammatory and defending it, instead of clarifying it, is a bad look. Clearly you have an axe to grind with Apple, and my advice to you is you should put a little more effort into hiding it if you want others to take you seriously.

No, I'm not confused. But that comment was the context for my mentioning CVE and 0days, which you decided to discuss yourself.
simondotau: "That's an wild accusation to make without citations."
me: "Shall I cite my list of CVE? Or perhaps it would be more interesting to cite my list of unfixed 0days."
you: "The list of vulnerabilities is not very informative for the same reason a trackers blocked statistic is not."
If you don't want to discuss my previous quoted comment, that's fine, but you have in fact mentioned it and continue to mention it. Thus, the context is very relevant.

Where exactly was I rude?
> I think your original comment was needlessly exaggerated and inflammatory and defending it, instead of clarifying it, is a bad look.
I'll respond to that comment, though it may take some time.
> Clearly you have an axe to grind with Apple
I've been a Mac user for more than 20 years, a professional Mac developer for more than 15, and I currently sell apps in the Mac App Store and iOS App Store. Do I have critiques of Apple? Yes, of course. However, they are the critiques of an insider who has no intention to leave the ecosystem.
You're throwing around your ego and responding with alleged claims of personal expertise when this discussion has nothing to do with that. You're deflecting with puffery; which is irrelevant with respect to your original claim which I questioned. I don't care that you have a list and I don't care how long it is. You accused Apple of engaging in privacy theatre, and that "many" privacy features where mere "marketing". Defend that claim or move on.
