Let's ignore all of the preinstalled programs, which are signed by Google and do a great deal of spying.
Do you think the 100 most popular F-Droid apps do more spying than the 100 most popular Play store apps?

No, that’s a straw man. The popular ones are not the concern.
A straw man in your favor, maybe. Shall we compare the 100 least popular of each store?
Those are more likely to be outright malware on Play.
The popularity in app stores has no bearing. Some problem apps can be on no store, just locally installed. This has been well covered in the past and you are playing catch up. It’s about abusive household members who spy on their grown children, siblings, roommates, girlfriends, parents, etc. with apps they install on their devices if given a route to do so.
