Where's the evidence that they're uploading user data of any kind to Apple? All the article shows is that a daemon on macOS is communicating with a server.
It could just be downloading an updated model. Or downloading configuration params. Or doing literally anything.
It's talking to something. It's making requests. The software was already installed so either it's sending or receiving data related to the image recognition engine. I doubt it will be easy to grab the cleartext in memory too.
