    This was a comment about Apple and Google specifically, not about their app stores or the apps on them created by non-apple/non-google developers. There’s a clear difference.

      Google allows data collection, they need it because they’re an ad company.

      Apple will make their products shitty rather than spy on their users. Their profits come from hardware and software sales. Their ad revenue is a rounding error

        They do still collect an awful lot of data, though, there’s been research on that - even if less than Android, I’d consider them similar in this regard.
