	Why isn't the user better protected by the OS from these kinds of malpractices?

This is starting to happen. E.g.:

New iOS 14 feature warns you if someone is spying on you through your iPhone: Look out for the orange dot at the top of your screen

This is the exact same thing as the red microphone banner popping up at the top left in all previous iOS versions.

Also, strongly reconsider citing tabloids as accurate - reliable news' source, especially when it comes to tech.

What else do u expect when major OS is an ad company. Basically everything the google does is to funnel data.

Protecting the user is obviously not the priority.
