I know everyone knows the claim that it's a bug is bullshit, but here's a personal anecdote to further demonstrate it:
I have two identical MacBooks: one for work, one is personal. My personal MacBook has my EU Apple account signed in. The other has a US Apple account.
I updated to macOS 15.3 at the same time. Guess what? The one with the US account had Apple "Intelligence" surreptitiously enabled. The one with the EU account didn't.
Doesn't sound like a bug to me ๐ Sounds like they're enabling their bullshit where they can get away with it, and they don't want to risk it with people protected by EU regulations.
