> Apple is more focused on privacy

A more precise way to put it: Apple is focused on customer control, and will fight whoever tries to touch what they see as Apple's exclusive customers.

This has privacy benefits against tracking agents, reduces functionalities against third party services (Amazon, Spotify, Google, third party payment etc.), and forbids whole use cases (e.g. non Apple backup service).

As a customer one can be happy with the privacy windfall, but we've seen again and again that it's not Apple's focus per se.
