I quit Facebook in 2014 for the same reason. Their privacy settings were regularly reverted and it became clear that their business model and my privacy were not compatible. Apple “gets away with it“ because people pay them for it. Apple is not a data broker. Their business model is to sell expensive hardware that people want to buy. It’s a fundamentally different relationship than the likes of Equifax or Doubleclick/Google who will abuse us and our data and we never agreed to it or have any control over it.
