Apple Pay transactions are not logged on Apple's "central servers". Apple has absolutely zero insight into what you buy with Apple Pay. The tokenization protocol is run by the card networks, not Apple.

Wherever they are logged, they will be available to the government -- Apple doesn't care about those data, but about the security of Apple Pay.
