Title could probably use a “2013”

It hasn’t changed though, has it?
It really has, Android actually has privacy controls now which they definitely didn't in 2013. Developers can't request your location 24/7 without you even being aware of it like they could 10 years ago.
The point of the slides was Google, not third party developers. I feel things have gotten worst. Google controls not only the device itself, but also most people’s browser and tools when they decide to use something else.

Google collects 20 times more telemetry from Android devices than Apple from iOS (therecord.media)

I guess my point is that I think even Apple likely has different policies or talking points around this now as opposed to a decade ago. Probably some more and some less troublesome than what's shown here.
