So, why is Safari not forced to save my web browsing history too (even of I delete it)? Why not also the "private" tabs I open?
First, there's no court order for Safari. This isn't the court saying "everyone always has to preserve data" it's a court saying "in the interest of this litigation this specific party has to preserve data for now".
But moreover, Safari isn't a third party, it's a tool you are using whose data is in your possession. That means that in the US things like fourth amendment rights are much stronger. A blanket order requiring that Safari preserve everyone's browsing history would be an illegal general warrant (in the US).

Just OpenAI, huh?
