I mean is it really Apple, though? Android by comparison has millions of free apps that do nothing but spy on you end to end, after the OS has already spied on you thoroughly. Maybe Apple users are now trained to think all software should be priced like apps (I disagree with this, but am willing to consider it a possibility for a given group of the iOS user base) but Google meanwhile has trained a whole lot more users that all software should be free and they just need to put up with invasive advertising. I'd argue the latter is far more damaging than the former.
