Your logic defeats your own argument. If we shouldn't trust billion dollar companies it stands to reason that the fewer few billion dollar companies we trust, the better. If you're already in the iPhone ecosystem, you're already placing a lot of trust in Apple. So using Sign In With Apple means trusting a company that you already trust.

- tatersolid 7y ago”If necessary I can use an Android phone and apps without ever logging into any Google service.” I don’t think this is actually feasible in practice. I’ve never encountered a real person using a Google-free android device as their daily driver in the wild. I work in security, and actually ask android users I encounter if they are worried about GOOG data collection or whatever. Nobody ever responds with “I’m Google-free”.
