What do you mean by get pretty close?

Having to log into a Google account that uniquely identifies you across all your devices and milks you of every single data it can put its filthy hands on?

I am an android user but honestly between the two I think Apple is the lesser evil

(If you buy a suitable device) You don't have to use the preloaded OS (see Graphrne, Lineage etc).
