Apple are definitely doing some good things. In Catalina they revealed to me that Backup and sync from Google.app was spying on my Downloads folder on my Mac - something it has no business doing, and which I never intended to be happening on my computer. macOS now prompts for permission when an app tries to read a major directory area without you directing first asking it to. But Apple are a corporation. They only do enough privacy things to support their particular business model. That explains their baffling inconsistencies. Ultimately, Apple can't be trusted if you truly value your privacy. I'm planning a move to Linux, which is easier than ever to use these days. Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Ubuntu...it's lookin' good.
