I was looking for your comment, but this line equating the two highlights a constant ambiguity in HN comments re: the threat model. Cut and paste from another of my comments on the subject:

If the subject threat model here is (1) defending against companies stealing and selling my data then Google should be called out. If the (2) state level agencies spying on you through these companies then you can add Apple to the call out.

I see this happen often and I think every conversation should be clearly grounded in the threat model that is being addressed.
