The question will go to which company do you hate the least. I've used Android since forever and I'm planning on jumping ship. Apple is playing its cards to perfection. "No one is gonna track you... except for us, of course, but we won't be like those leeches at fb/googl".

Their brand is strong and consumer perception is everything. Fb has lost all credibility and loosing ground every day which explains their hail mary move with meta and googl with their "don't be evil" backfired really hard after they removed the slogan + change directions on different things + their "graveyard" and failed ventures (google plus, stadia, etc...).

"Luckily" for them (googl/fb), the rest of the world doesn't have the purchase parity of the US and they can milk that cow. Heck, Fb basically is the "internet" in some countries and TSPs have offerings around it (Free Fb, Ig, Ws Navigation).
