> a) share my data with Apple (i.e. they get to know every time i sign in)

They're only requiring this when there are other social login options available. It's not a bid to get access to your private information. It's designed to make it so you're not forced to share your information with Google/FB/Twitter. This existing is strictly better for users.



Ummm it's also strictly better for apple. They do get to know every time you sign in, instead of another company getting that. It's certainly not better for users than creating a separate account tied to a separate email for every service without a big company in between.

Some apps don't offer this as an option and force social login. Apple's new rules require Sign In With Apple any time a developer has implemented another social login. So, strictly speaking, this always guarantees more options for users. And Sign In With Apple doesn't leak any other information about you to the app developer. This is a win for privacy, even if it's not the best possible scenario. The world is not perfect. Measures to make it slightly less imperfect are how we walk the path to a better future.
