People don't operate rationally when it comes to Apple. They have been so good at manipulating people that even when they get criticism it's always in a very tone down way.
Apple privacy stance is bullshit and disgusting. I know for a fact that they collect as much information as Google (in fact in my case, looking at the takeout of data they know much more about me than Google) but the pretense is that they don't use it or sell it. Yet the average user has zero way to make sure of that and the incentive are so bad that's it just a question of when Apple stance will change (anything is possible for profits, Tim Cook has very much proved that).
If Apple was truly serious about privacy, they would refuse any type of cloud offering and completely disowned their App Store model. But the only thing Apple cares about is money, privacy is just a very easy marketing target without having to prove anything.
Microsoft is shady, Google is borderline, Facebook is careless but by far, the evilest of the bunch is Apple.
