I think there's a big difference between selling data for profit and the government literally forcing you to give up data based on national security laws or else forcing you to close your business. There's almost nothing Apple can do about the latter case (or any other company for that matter).
Also how would we know if Apple is working with other companies? It's not like they are known to be transparent or Truthful.
Apple puts privacy and security front and center as part of their brand. They zig while everyone else is zaging, trying to make a buck on user data, which they don't do.
