I'm not sure what kind of protections can be added. It'd be nice to be able to add private data to share with family and friends without having to worry about e.g., Microsoft using it to sell Office.

"The power of control by Big-Tech in the app store is but a small example of exploitation of our digital lives. If you don’t control the software, the companies who wrote that software control you. You become a digital prisoner."
