> How is Microsoft more trustworthy than Google?

For one, their entire business/revenue doesn't revolve around selling advertising. While they (MS) have gotten into tracking more data with Windows 10 and so on, they are still nowhere close to where Google is when you look at what they do with Android, Chrome, Gmail, Google Search, Google Analytics, Google Home, etc.

For me personally, Google is far and away the # 1 threat to my privacy followed by Facebook and Amazon then MS and Apple at the bottom of the list.

A company's involvement in your life should have security/transparency multipliers. Google has more of your data, but they do a better job of keeping things safe and communicating with you what they have and how they use it.

That said it makes sense that if one company has too much of your data you should rightfully be wary of them. +1
