Google Play, YouTube, Google Books, Google Maps, Google Hangouts, Google Messenger, Google Drive, Google Mail, etc are all extremely intrusive apps. At least with Apple, you have the flexibility to do whatever you want with it and not have to worry about feeding the Google Advertising machine.

With the exception of Google Play, you can delete all of them without issue.

No, you're feeding the Apple advertising machine instead. It's not a coincidence that Apple's share of certain advertisements has tripled since they announced app tracking transparency [0]. I'm certain it's only a matter of time before they make themselves the only company that can advertise to iOS users. Apple collects the exact same data about you that Google does only they're less transparent about it.

  None of these you mentioned is showing ads into your mouth (except maybe Photos, but there are tons of alternatives), while Apple's do.

    Stocks, News, and App Store are the only things displaying ads…
