If you chose to share that that data, or store that in the cloud, it’s E2EE / AES-256. Apple can’t decrypt it.
If Apple didn’t do this for the Health app, they’d be running foul of a lot of new and decades old laws about biometric / health data.
Also, there is little fact that Apple literally has no marketing segmentation products that utilize medical cohorts like this. They’re trying to sell an overpriced watch, accessories, and subscription services, not targeted ads.

I trust apple to actually keep that data private

Yes exactly. Like yes it’s certainly possible they’re not doing what they say they are but it would be a high risk low reward situation to do so.
I trust them a lot more than I trust an advertising company
Never trust any company ever.
I’ve got two choices if I want a smartphone I don’t want to fuck around with. I chose the better of the two, when it comes to privacy.
My biometric data is E2EE encrypted and only accessible by me.
