The lock-in problem at the heart of the Apple monopoly lawsuit
I use Apple hardware because it’s made by a company that has a business model based on high margins. Google is an advertising company and their business model is selling my data.
Google doesn’t sell your data. They sure as hell collect it, but they sell targeted ads based on that data. Selling the data itself would undermine their ad platform.
Your position is otherwise fair. Some people (especially on Lemmy) value privacy over everything else. That doesn’t mean Apple isn’t guilty of a bunch of other anti consumer bullshit though.

I definitely don’t idolize Apple, check my post history :p
Ah, yes. Because a publicly traded company would never look for additional revenue streams atop their high margins.
Oh…
In terms of overall revenue it’s a side hustle for Apple, unlike Google they can live without it.
