I downloaded a copy of my data from Apple and they store the computer serial number, hostname and ip.

I recently found this (I haven't check the source):

> iOS forces users to “activate” devices (including non-cellular) which sets up a remote UUID-linked (also collecting registration IP) database for a given device with Apple for APNS/iMessage/FaceTime/Siri, and then Apple ID, iCloud etc. Apple ought be open to users about “activation” and allow users to avoid it.

You are confusing what Apple says here - “Apple isn’t interested in studying your personal data” - with some other concern that isn’t related to that.

(It’s fine to discuss your concern, but it’s not the same concern.)
