> I like that my mom can install apps and not worry about them spying on her. You really think Apple not doing that?

  Yes, I really think Apple is not (at least nowhere near the same degree as their competition). That's not how they make money.

    wait until you hear about Apple Ads then.

      Didn’t iAds fail because they weren’t invasive enough?

    Apple spies more than its competition. The competition at least allows you to turn their spying off. There is no such option on Apple devices. Do you want to get your location without Apple also getting your location? You can't. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25355587 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25355587 Do you want to install an app on your device without telling Apple? You can't. Do you want to build apps for your own device and not have to reinstall them weekly without telling Apple your banking details? Tough luck. Platforms that don't give users an escape hatch to run their own software have nothing to stop them from abusing their users. They will abuse their users' privacy just as much as they will abuse their users' wallets.
