How would a ‘trusted contact’ recover keys that are supposedly only stored on your devices, when you yourself have lost those devices; unless Apple has stored those keys elsewhere.
The same way E2EE works for anything else? You trust them as a device that can decrypt your keys using their own keys generated on their device. You need to do this at the time you turn on ADP. You cannot do it later.
There’s also no telling what they’ve done with your ‘recovery key’. Just because they refuse to help you, doesn’t mean they have no access; they just won’t share that access with you, as it would blatantly expose their illusion.
The key is randomly generated on your device locally and displayed to you exactly once. If you don’t write it down and store it somewhere else, you can never access it again. So, unless you have some actual data to show that the key is being transmitted anywhere, you’re just speculating without any evidence.
You don’t have to believe any of it. I don’t particularly care. But it’s wild to come out as confidently as you are when you don’t even know the basics about it.
