So? Users expect basic OS functionality (like the App Store, Maps, etc) to function.

Do people really install Little Snitch (which I've used since 2005 or so) for blocking Apple's own apps?

It is pretty clear Apple doesn't think it is your computer. Similar to how they feel about their phones that they let people use.

edit-to-add: further evidenced by Apple's stance on right-to-repair.

Apple's apps bypass firewalls like LittleSnitch and LuLu on macOS Big Sur
