The main point is that because Apple products essentially require a login
account to the mothership just to work at the basic level (which no other
common consumer operating system requires - just Apple requires it)... 

Because the iPhone is designed as a dumb terminal - it has to have a login.
And because it has to have a login - it's vulnerable to these databases.

On my Windows machine, there's only a local account. And it doesn't even
have a password - so being in this database wouldn't allow anyone to log
into Microsoft's servers on my account. 

Only Apple *requires* (essentially) that account.
Nobody else.

On my Android phone, for example, there isn't even a PIN because it's not
needed. Mainly iOS needs biometrics because it's a dumb system overall. 

Apple requires the login to protect them. Not you.
More specifically, they want to protect their mainframe servers.
Not your phone.

Any system that requires a login when none are needed, is poorly designed.
