Somehow, a few people here actually DON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT – 17 minutes of comprehensive analysis and well supported arguments in favor of the claim in the title.

Did you watch the video? The Android Open Source Project isn't owned by Google. Even if it was, the point of the video is that you have the choice not to use Chrome or any other Google service on android. Android offers about the same average base level of privacy and security as iOS does, but with much more potential. That ranges from uninstalling Google apps to flashing custom ROMs like GrapheneOS.
Wearing special anti-surveillance clothing because you want to make sure cameras can't identify you is the real life equivalent to installing ten privacy browser extensions because you want to make sure websites can't track you.
Maybe, dunno, just watch the video?
The comparison is between Android and iOS, not Android and some fictional perfectly-private-and-secure-by-default OS. Even if you don't want to put GrapheneOS on your phone, on Android you can very easily take steps that take you further than would be possible on iOS.
