Because I can use more than one criteria when making a purchase decision?
I've had iphones too. When I did, I was able to care about users other than myself, and how the status quo effects us all.
The difference in first party surveillance is real, but they both court developers to their platforms with little regard for how much surveillance they will or will not do. The problems are the same there, and the minor differences are merely dressing around the edges. They're just hyped to be bigger than they are because people love a rivalry and websites love clicks.
- x0x0 11y agowell yes, this is the real world and you have to make tradeoffs; privacy apparently isn't important enough to you the differences are more than window dressing; one company is an advertising company and the other isn't. One company's messaging platform is only encrypted in transit to the company; the other's is architected so they can't read your messages. Again, I'm not claiming apple is perfect on privacy, but they are better than google.
