Apple makes their money from selling products and services rather than selling the user. At least that's the perception. Apple also gets their share of this kind of criticism, but it invites much less of it in this way.

(To be fair, it's not looking very great there either recently.) Just one exhibit to underline my point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34886732 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34886732
