Maybe it's just me but the idea that my computer lets Apple (+ any LE organizations) surveil my app launches seems so much scarier than any malware.

It’s not like Apple us building a database of apps you’ve launched linked to your address and social security number.
It isn't just checking for malware, its broadcasting your app opening behavior to apple and anyone else who might be listening.

You know this how? Seriously, I don't get why you would believe that.
They don’t have any significant advertising business. They don’t need to collect any personally identifiable information. They’ve promoted their brand by putting their customers privacy first.
So why would you believe they would intentionally risk all of that here?
Why would private company not utilize leverage? You have no source, you can't even turn off these checks without hacks. Privacy first is open source and audit. It is removing feature people don't want.
