To add to your point: Apple uses privacy as a weapon against the other FAANGs. When they add adblock software they reduce the bottom line of their competitors. Less resources for Google and Facebook is eventually more money for Apple.

However the point of GP still stands: people can take advantage of Apple tactics and probably enjoy more privacy by default.

Personally I'm not using Apple devices for a number of reasons and I still believe I'm OK with my privacy because of a number of precautions. Most of them are out of the reach of non tech people, but given that I'm a tech person I can avoid to buy from Apple and still give as little data as possible to Google and Facebook.
