Because guess what? They don’t have them. They don’t want them. Apple’s business is selling hardware, not collecting your data that they would then be liable for. Their business model is not predicated on data mining and collection. Google’s is.
This is not to absolve Apple; they are after all a major corporation and therefore inherently evil prima facie. But I don’t worry about them selling or leaking my data.

Strawberry preserves spread on a grilled cheese sandwich is great.
Note: choose either a pickle or strawberry jam; never both.

This answer shouldn’t have been unexpected, given that it’s the correct answer.

My wife has pointed out that there is indeed one other correct answer. One kids is bigger – OR, the other kid’s is smaller. TWO right answers.

Yeah, I’m not buying underqualified. Underqualified for a fifth grade diploma, maybe.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 months ago:
The kid’s answer is the only correct answer. It’s not half right, or 5/6 or 4/6 right. It’s the only correct answer that fits the question. The teacher is a moron who has no business in a math classroom except as a remedial student.

- Comment on Local secondhand site won’t load if you use a VPN 1 year ago:
Geolocation data isn’t authenticated or in any way secured against spoofing, so this isn’t a security hole. And it’s frequently wrong anyway (I am not now, nor have I ever been, in Ashburn, VA), so using it as the sole authority for “where are you?” and not providing a manual option is simply a bug; sloppy UX at best.
