I don't think we understand yet how to model the impacts of breaches on products.

Cambridge Analytica didn't ruin facebook, but it did enable CCPA, and it probably changed how FB users think of / trust the product. Ashley Madison / equifax breaches completely ruined their cos.

Snowden disclosures were a weird middle case that meant all things to all people.

Weakening aapl's privacy claims may not matter to a post-truth public but I suspect it will further drive demand for actual consumer privacy products, when and if they enter the market.
