I think there is this misunderstanding that Apple users are all trusting of Apple’s motives, decisions, eco-friendliness, etc. That’s not what I’m saying, and I think you would be hard-pressed to find somebody who’s actually drinking the Kool-Aid that hard.

What I’m saying is Apple is relatively better than windows and a few years ago I was optimistic that their incentives lined up with what I valued. I did not think they were doing it out of the kindness of their heart or some false notion of integrity they definitely don’t have.

I also am not as bothered by companies collecting data and using it internally as much as I am when they sell it to third parties without my consent. I don’t love data harvesting in general, but if I’m going to pick my poison, I’m going to prefer to keep it siloed.
