Tell HN: Apple not letting removal of AI models on macOS 27 is outrageous

In short

Despite disabling Siri, the storage space occupied by AI models on macOS 27 remains at 30 GB, causing frustration and a feeling of being ignored by Apple. This issue has prompted many to hope that this post will raise awareness and get Apple's attention.

I feel like there's not enough outrage over Apple not removing their Apple Intelligence models on macOS 27 even after disabling Siri.

I have a 512 GB Mac mini but because I have so much data, I also have a 2 TB monthly iCloud subscription. I have Siri AI turned off. Yet, my storage settings show 30 GB is occupied by useless Apple Intelligence models which I don't use. And these models can't even be moved to my 2 TB iCloud subscription. It's really pissing me off.

I feel like there needs to be a lot more negative publicity about this to get Apple's attention. More tech blogs should be writing about how horrible of a decision this is. I am hoping this post does that.
