>> They are actively hostile to user control. > Android has great privacy controls and has had them as long or longer than Apple has. These can both be true. Android can have great privacy & permission controls, and also be better at many of these things than Apple, and also have systematically cut back on users control of their own devices, time and time again (Android 7 making it impossible to manage your own CA certificates, Android 14 tightening that further, sideloading restrictions, SafetyNet/Play Integrity making custom OSs & rooting unusable, etc). There's a lot more to user control of devices than just app permissions, and "Better than Apple" on this stuff is not a high bar.
