This part surprises me a bit. Fable always falls back to opus for me the instant 'security' is involved (thanks for that, Anthropic)
Tether is "merely" talking to your iPhone over bluetooth and the local network. It does nothing if you don't already have an iPhone. Apple should have no more reason to come after this than it does a Garmin watch that can show your iMessages via bluetooth.
Of course, every spammer dreams of their spam texts coming through as a blue bubble.
I use LocalSend and every now and then the connection does not work and I have to restart it on the phone.
