Apple has merely provided SSO. All of its services have always been private (unless you explicitly share) and will always be. Google has taken what were private services e.g. YouTube and content and exposing that through a social network.
And for most people it is that blurring of the boundary between private and public that makes what Google is doing a bit concerning.

From a company which started out with an quirky barebones homepage, deliberately eschewing the natural monetizability of it, this new aggressive identity grab is a big cultural transformation.
