This article criticizes supposition and assumption. It's true that there's no evidence that Apple is doing anything nefarious with the daemon. But it then goes on to just make it's own supposition and assumption - that the daemon is only used for warning the user - with essentially as much evidence.
Well Apple was for example fined for slowing down old iPhones without even telling the user. I personally do not consider them as good faith actors and it is only matter of choice for them to use it against you. There is in the end nothing more you can do than complain or sue them.
I'm not sure this is a fair take. It slowed down iPhones with weak batteries to avoid the voltage hitting a bad threshold and just rebooting. This was an engineer solving a problem and not considering about the downstream effects more than nefarious company doing evil.
