You have my attention!

But in this day and age, I need to understand more about intentions, and what sustains projects like this.

For the moment I've settled on Safari simply because Apple makes its billions elsewhere, even if I am increasingly disappointed with how they are playing along with politics right now.

I just wish there were a browser that would use their webview technology with better tabbing, video playback, etc. Apple is often minimal to a fault.
Kagi’s Orion browser tries to do this, and it works great for me on iOS (though I still use Firefox on my mac)

I have troubling using different browsers for different platforms these days. I get too much benefit from sync.
Right now? All major corporations play along with whatever the current political winds are. Your own personal biases don't matter in their decision making.
Sure. But I am allowed to compare now to yesteryear, and on my own scale the differences are humungous.
What makes you think that Apple respects your privacy any more than Google and Microsoft? The marketing brochure?
Apple has released several privacy features, their slogan is “Privacy. That’s Apple.”, and they make their money from hardware. Even if not a perfect company it’s sure as hell a better bet than MS or google.
Apple increasingly makes money via services.
So it's just the marketing pamphlet.
Can gauge it for myself. You do you.

I certainly will not be equating Apple to Google or Microsoft.

For now.
