OK "siphoned" is an opinion. Apple Maps also provides location services to other Apple products on its platform. Unless I disable the switch which is buried at Settings, Privacy, Location Services, System Services, Significant Locations, Apple will "allow your iCloud connected devices to learn places significant to you in order to provide useful location-related information in Maps, Calendar, Photos, and more." If I try to disable it, because I use iOS but I don't use any of those apps, it warns me that "Disabling Significant Locations will affect many Apple apps and services … such as Maps, Do Not Disturb While Driving, CarPlay, Siri, Calendar, and Photos." I'd like to know how that's different.
