Privacy risks of indexing
The worst thing that could happen is that one of the governments would specifically ask Apple for the data of everyone in your area, or just you. I don't know how bad this is for you, but with open source programs like LuLu, you can see how much data your computer is sending to Apple in the background without you noticing.

I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
A quick thought: Something similar (many) already exist. One is https://www.sl-soft.de/en/kext-updater/, another is https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools, another is https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool. Does yours offer something different?
