That claim seems like it’d be trivial to fact check, and indeed does seem to be false.
That's from 5 years ago. Let's look what Apple themselves say about that topic:
https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/
this is HIGHLY misleading. The page you linked is for Apple's global/web properties (hence "within our services"); device-level settings govern app and OS telemetry separately. You can opt out of telemetry on apple devices you own.
Which apps are launched from their website?
I am not ever trusting a proprietary OS, specially when it has been actively advertised as "caring about your privacy"
It is the advertising of any market differentiator or specifically when it's for security.
