But you are already on their OS, so they would always be able to do that. They make the kernel, the hardware and it's firmware, so it's a moot point and needless paranoia. Might as well use the API that gives a better user experience.

No it's not. You are misunderstanding my point.
I'm not talking about Apple being able to patch the OS and control everything at that level - of course they can, but it seems unlikely.
I'm talking about a developer framework, a high level abstraction, where the method of resolving would be more likely to be intercepted - consider for example something like that on an iPhone with the justification being safety or 'for the children' or whatever.
That doesn't seem unlikely or improbably at all, and certainly not moot or any kind of paranoia.
