Any conversation about privacy needs to be centered around the threat model:
Worried about state actors? More power to you, but good luck with that. Most people don't have the time, energy or paranoia (justified or not) to figure that out and keep on top of it.
Worried about stalker capitalism? Google is eagerly selling your data to the highest bidder = I have zero faith that their OS isn't snarfing up everything it can to sell to anyone who will pay. Apple has a different business model = I have some faith that they aren't selling my data.
