One of the selling points of apple devices is getting away from google spyware. Every bit of spyware they can prevent the user from being exposed to is better.

Apple doesn’t care at all about the most common types of spyware. Nearly every app in the iOS App Store contains tons of spyware.

Apple’s view is that you consented to this sort of unaccountable invisible tracking by dozens of third parties (against whom you have zero recourse), when you agreed to the TOS of the App Store.

The data is aggregated, sold, and resold again.
