It's not exactly a double standard because... Like many things in technology, there are few write ups explaining this, including the pros and cons, in simple terms that most people can understand. So, people are not well informed. When they are not well informed they will tend to make decisions based on other things, like their business model. We know that Google makes money displaying ads and has generally soaked up information on people to use for their benefit. Apple has been advocating privacy and makes money selling hardware and services. If there was an "explain it to me like I'm 5" write up on how the changes to Safari and proposed changes to Chrome would work I could imagine it would help people see something other than the business model. This isn't a double standard. It's people making judgements on something other than the technology.
