Whether you want to classify your thoughts as an appeal to popularity, or maybe as "moral equivalence", or some other sort of logical fallacy, it's still a logical fallacy. For one, it doesn't really matter who was first, it doesn't absolve Microsoft of anything. Morality or the right to privacy should not be relative concepts. But related to your question - OS X does not leak data and comparing Windows with iOS or Android is comparing apples and oranges, as Windows is usually the desktop OS that has access to your company's VPN, your work and everything of importance, whereas a smartphone has at most access to your contacts, your calendar and your email. In other words sensitive, but not critical.
