Most people are going to do that regardless.
It becomes not a question of whether to trust some for-profit company, but which one.
Many people feel, and I tend to agree, that Apple is a safer bet than Google, because Apple (at least, at the moment) makes its money via hardware and software sales, rather than advertising revenue. They have significant incentives to protect your data and not share it, in a way that an advertising-centric company like Google does not have.
Of course, as Apple gets into the ad business they will erode this advantage, whether actual or just perceived.
- justapassenger 4y agoIn last few years Apple is attempting to do incredibly successful vendor lock in, mostly in the name of privacy, like forcing Sign In with Apple, content sales via their channels, etc. Leaving Apple eco system will only get harder each year. They’re slowly boiling the frog. Note - I do use Apple devices, so I’m also a frog.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoI would say it is a safer bet but not by much. What info Apple is keeping is pure speculation though and nobody outside of Apple could verify it effectively.
