    Apple, as always, seem extremely determined to make sure that they protect things on your computer from being accessed by you.

    Apple Intelligence is a great example of this. Everything can funnel up to Siri, but neither you nor any other app on your computer can see what is fed to it by all of the APIs that would provide it data. So anyone who adds support for it is enabling Apple to do their usual slow broken thing with Siri and not enabling any other way you might want to use software or AI with that data.

      1) Don't like Apple? Don't buy their products

      2) You still have full disk access if you want

        You know, surprisingly enough, some of us here on this forum are software developers.

        And so it ends up mattering to us what the rest of society gets in terms of software too.
