Well when it comes to the two big corporations I do tend to see Apple in a better light than Google that is more heavily involved in the data collection and advertising business. Not that Apple isn’t collecting data and not completely private, but they seem less evil in those areas than Google.

And for regular people there is less benefit to being on Android compared to Apple, since they don’t tend to care or know about sideloading or custom ROMs. So if it’s giving data to Google or to Apple I guess it’s a matter of opinion on who it’s better for them to give it to.
