I don't understand this argument. Are you really worried about being tracked or what the outcome of that tracking is? When a company tracks you anywhere - let's say Google on Website X or Apple on Apple product Y, they will both use that data to sell you advertisements. Neither will actually "sell" your data to an advertiser, but will use their technology to let an advertiser target you. What's the difference? It's the same outcome, you are being sold things. You mention "opt-in" as one potential difference - that one can opt out-of the Apple ecosystem but apparently not out of other places...I don't understand, you can opt out of any website that serves Google Ads. In the same way you can opt out of Apple products, you can opt out of Google products. They are both corporations, equally committed to earning money for their shareholders.
