For those wondering why you can't just delete these files. On Mac OS Big Sur and later, the system OS is signed by apple and in order to actually delete these files you need to go through a whole bunch of steps that apparently requires completely disabling FileVault (full disk encryption).

So in the end we'll be left with a choice.

1. Allow Apple to scan your files.

2. Disable any kind of encryption letting anyone who steals your laptop access all your files.
