There are a ton of places in iOs that report back to Apple. When you first set up the phone it asks if you want to "share your usage". You also agree to let them have stats on how long you use each app as part of the app store agreement.
Apple's selling point is that they don't make money selling your private data (or transitive access to it) to third parties, but they don't make any claims about not doing it themselves.
I don't see anything that would preclude them from installing some telemetry for this specific attack. And I think it would be perfectly justified in the name of security too.
Why would they? This is Apple, one of their selling points is how they don't have fingers in your phone
