> Interesting nugget: the author repeats the lies that apple doesn't collect/store/index your data.

I did not saw this in the article... Can you elaborate on this like copy/pasting the line(s) from the article please?

6th paragraph. However, I‘m not sure whether Apple or Facebook is „the data giants“.

Apple is a data giant, that’s for sure but article talks mostly about location data which Apple has raw access to.
the image labelled "Privacy Labels - Facebook Vs Rivals @UKZak / Apple"
The reason why I say that image is a brazen lie is this:

It says that there are only four things linked to you when you use imessage.

one of those is "device id". It doesn't say thatit ties you to your icloud account. From that your location, passwords, icloud tabs, photos, purchases, etc, etc, etc are all indexable.
