indeed does seem to be false.

That's from 5 years ago. Let's look what Apple themselves say about that topic:

Personal Data Apple Collects from You

Usage Data. Data about your activity on and use of our offerings, such as app launches within our services, including browsing history; search history; product interaction; crash data, performance and other diagnostic data; and other usage data

https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/

this is HIGHLY misleading. The page you linked is for Apple's global/web properties (hence "within our services"); device-level settings govern app and OS telemetry separately. You can opt out of telemetry on apple devices you own.
