I keep backups, both in iCloud and elsewhere. Apple makes it a headache to avoid doing this, and they apparently finally added proper E2E encryption support.
I guess I think of Apple computers more like generic corporate fleet vehicles, and Linux boxes more like classic cars.
I really don’t think anyone cares if a ford dealer irreparably destroys 1% of the bottom trim white F-150s they maintain, and also forbids the people that bought the service contract from opening the hood.
None of that applies to a mustang shelby, but that’s a different part of the market.
Maybe some people really like their macs / phones, and don’t just use them like interchangeable boring tools.
