There are millions of ways you implicitly trust Apple software to not violate your trust when you use their products. The whole point is Apple can gauge whether it is appropriately stewarding that trust in first party code much better than it can with third party code.

I guess that's fair, because the name says Player. But still, the way to not use those features is to not use those features. Unlike a third party app you don't need to worry about it trying to read your screen if you haven't explicitly started a screen recording. If you can't trust Apple to do that then you can't trust Apple to block third party apps from recording, either.
