As a "foreign person", I'd rather like for no organization to come and record everything I do just because I wasn't born in a specific place.

Ironically though, the average American citizen is probably under more CIA surveillance than the average foreign person such as myself.

I'd rather we didn't either. If we trust you enough to let you visit, work, whatever, then we should treat you respectfully.

We could make doing this illegal and enforce it…

Unfortunately, other nation states might not care about US laws. Which returns to the above statement that it’s better for the CIA and Apple to be in a security arms war than it is for Apple and the FSB, at least from the perspective of an American.
