At Burning Man, moop is an acronym for Matter Out Of Place, a reference to the leave no trace principal of the event. People will run after a small piece of material. Again, NBD, but in tech circles this might be the first thing people think of with that acronym.
I do think Apple captures plenty of meta data, but I do not know how much physical motion is getting sent back. One of the goals of the secure enclave was to store biometrics. And despite some notable concerns, the company has generally aligned its business model and branding to be privacy focused.

The transformation is already underway. When Apple delivered Google Maps on iPhone with its pulsing blue dot, those with the technology instantly leapt ahead of those without it. I wonder how much stress has been relieved just from people knowing where they are.
I agree the technology can be misused, even to oppress. But this is true with any tech.
My concern is more about the disparity of those who have this tech and those that don't. The enhancements could start to show in a matter of years and quality of recommendations could coalesce into what will look like a new plane of daily living.
